Wailua I Ke Awawa O Na Ali‘i

This stunning video presents the cultural importance of Wailuanuiahoano, the great sacred Wailua, located in the lower portion of the Wailua, Kaua‘i River Valley. Captured are the abundance of historic sites in this rich cultural landscape and the genealogies, stories and histories of the people who lived there. The video was produced by the Hawaii Department of Transportation & Palikū Documentary films and directed by Nā‘ālehu Anthony.

Absolutely wonderful and powerful video. Not only really well-made but reflects what I’ve been fortunate to at least partially see and feel. Great to see kumu Kehaulani Kekua, eminent kumu hula who is also native to Kauai on this film.

@@historichawaiifoundation9836 hello. I am 15, and last march i decided to look through my geneology which gave me a hawaiian spark as i learned I come from the ali'i aimoku of maui as well as the high chiefs of whom the kalakaua dynasty descend from
when i saw them first cleaning out malae heiau, I was amazed at it's shear size, and was given the exact size by seeing the overgrowth through google maps. this video has truly enlightened me on the sacred aina a wailua

Many people believe the ruins on Kauai and the rest of the islands are tens of thousands of years old. The placard at Poliahu has been there for almost 100 years and it says the Menehune built it. I think they built all of it island wide. Makana peak is also man made as well as Hanana'a in Kalalau.

Here is Alex Pua's video where he talks about the temples, terracing and Heiau's already being built before the Polynesians arrived.
