‘Ewa Moku, O‘ahu
Nohopapa Hawai‘i worked with Kamehameha Schools on an innovative ‘Āina Inventory that incorporates a synthesis of historical research, ethnographic information, wahi pana data, and the current stewardship and restoration efforts taking place in the moku to create a richer understanding of ‘Ewa’s historical and contemporary cultural landscape. The inventory supports the development of collaborative and innovative strategies to increase availability and access to quality Āina Based Education (ABE) & Hawaiian Culture Based Education (HCBE) educational opportunities for learners in the region. The ‘Āina Inventory also helps support the development of ABE & HCBE curriculum and create processes to build a shared community sense of place. As described and defined by KS-CE&R, the unit of analysis for this inventory is based not only on traditional Hawaiian land divisions, but also on Department of Education (DOE) and census districts. Consequently, this study—and the ‘Ewa Region as defined by KS-CE&R—includes all or most of the 12 traditional ahupua‘a of ‘Ewa Moku (from west to east -- Honouliuli, Hō‘ae‘ae, Waikele, Waipi‘o, Waiawa, Mānana, Waimano, Waiau, Waimalu, Kalauao, ‘Aiea and Hālawa) as well as the entire ahupua‘a of Moanalua and Kahauiki in Kona Moku (Honolulu District).

Kona Moku, O‘ahu
Nohopapa Hawai‘i worked with Kamehameha Schools on an innovative ‘Āina Inventory that incorporates a synthesis of historical research, ethnographic information, wahi pana data, and the current stewardship and restoration efforts taking place in the moku to create a richer understanding of Kona‘s historical and contemporary cultural landscape. The inventory supports the development of collaborative and innovative strategies to increase availability and access to quality Āina Based Education (ABE) & Hawaiian Culture Based Education (HCBE) educational opportunities for learners in the region. The Kona ‘Āina Inventory also helps support the development of ABE & HCBE curriculum and create processes to build a shared community sense of place. For this project, because we believe the audience and users of this study will find it more useful, we have chosen to divide the five ahupua‘a in KS’ Kona, O‘ahu Region (Kalihi, Kapālama, Honolulu, Waikīkī and a portion of Waimānalo) into 15 palena that follow the 1880s Hawaiian Government Survey. These divisions are smaller than the Hawai‘i state GIS ahupua‘a divisions, but more closely reflect traditional concepts of land divisions in Kona Moku.

Within the moku of Ko‘olaupoko, the eleven ahupua‘a named in this study (that stretch from Waimānalo to Kualoa) form a continuous coastal plain and are renowned for tall-peaked mountains and an abundance of freshwater. Whereas, within the moku Ko‘olauloa, the thirty-two ahupua‘a named in this study (that stretch from Ka‘a‘awa to Waimea) are characterized by low mountains, deep valleys, and a narrow coastline.

Wai‘anae Moku, O‘ahu
At the request of Papa Ola Lōkahi, Nohopapa Hawai‘i, LLC undertook this study whose overall goal was to inventory the Wai‘anae moku on the island of O‘ahu; with this initial research laying the kahua, or foundation, for future work. It is through aloha, and in this case aloha ‘āina, that life can be restored and invigorated for both the wahi ho‘ōla and for all of us who revere and benefit from these sites. In addition to the Inventory, Nohopapa looked at specific focus sites within the Wai‘anae moku. These sites include Kū‘īlioloa Heiau, Kamaile Heiau, Pu‘u Kawiwi in the ahupua‘a of Wai‘anae, as well as Kūkaniloko in Wai‘anae Uka/ Wahiawā. It is hoped that the wahi ho‘ōla, such as those documented in this report, can be physically restored, stewarded, and maintained as vibrant houses-of-life for their respective communities.
