- Reminder that `A`ole pau ka `ike ma ka hālau ho`okahi – Not all knowledge is taught in one school. What I am sharing with you is what I have learned from my experiences and education There is no way that we can encompass everything that there is to learn about the island of Hawai`i. Hopefully this will inspire you to continue learning and share with others because it truly is a lifelong process
- Keep in mind that what I am sharing is the traditional boundaries. The boundaries used to determine one’s voting district is not the same as these traditional boundaries. Maulua – near `Ō`ōkala
- You may hear the term Nā Hilo in mele or oli Refers to the 3 regions of Hilo HILO HANAKAHI – inland towards Keaukaha. Named after a beloved chief Hanakahi. Known for its groves of hala (pandanus). The leaves of the hala are used to make mats, pāpaale HILO ONE – Hilo Bay. One means sand HILO PALIKŪ – pali meaning cliff; kū meaning upright
- Here is a map showing the ahupua`a. Within each moku or district are ahupua`a. Ahupua`a are subdivisions of land that extend from the mountain to the shore. Boundary markers for these ahupua`a were usually an ahu (heap of stones) used to leave offerings for the ali`i or royalty. Offerings included pua`a or pig, hence the name ahupua`a. Much of the early settlement in Hilo took place near the coast with agricultural fields scattered amongst the uplands. `Auwai or ditches were dug from upland springs to bring fresh water to settlement areas for drinking and farming. Also on this map, you see the regions that I described to you earlier – Hilo Hanakahi, Hilo One & Hilo Palikū
- As mentioned previously, there are names of wind and rain for each place. There are even more specific names for the different areas within each district. `A`alahonua – a wind associated with Hilo that is accompanied with rain. Means the wind that brings the earth fragrance Māluaki`iwai – a sea breeze accompanied by showers. Song called Māluaki`iwai Uluau – A wind associated with Waiākea area Kīhaelā`ī – wind in the Hilo Palikū area that is so strong it shreds ti-leaves Rain – speciifc names for rain Kanilehua – most famous that is heard in a lot of mele. Ka ua Kanilehua rain of Hilo – Hilo, of the Kanilehua rain. Kanilehua rain refers to the rain that patters in the lehua forest. My kumu says the rain that sings upon the lehua Lokuloku – heavy rain, downpour – comes from the `ŌN Hilo `āina i ka ua lokuloku Hilo i Kinakinai - constant Mao`ole – never clearing
- In reference to the heavy rain of Hilo that sounds like someone is walking on your roof. If you live in Hilo and have a tin roof, you know exactly which rain I am referring to.
- Waiolama was a wetland area that was fed by springs and intermittent flows from `Alenaio Stream. Refer to the map
