Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Park

Pictures taken at Honaunau Park, Captain Cook, Hawaii, July 2008:

"Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park preserves the site where, up until the early 19th century, Hawaiians who broke a kapu or one of the ancient laws against the gods could avoid an otherwise certain death by fleeing to this place of refuge or pu’uhonua. They could then be absolved by a priest and free to go. Defeated warriors and non-combatants could also find refuge here during times of battle. The grounds just outside the great wall that encloses the pu’uhonua was home to several generations of powerful chiefs.

The 182 acre park was established in 1961 and includes not only the pu’uhonua, but a complex of archeological sites including temple platforms, royal fishponds, sledding tracks, and some coastal village sites. The Hale o Keawe temple and several thatched structures have been reconstructed."
