Pu'uokapolei

Pu'uokapolei Pu‘uokapolei is a serene and humble hill at the top of Kapolei Regional Park. It is from this hill that the community of Kapolei gets its name.

At the top of Kapolei Regional Park, in the eastern corner, is an often overlooked and unknown treasure. Here amongst the plains of grass and swaying palm trees is a place deeply rooted in Hawaii’s history and culture. This special place is Pu‘uokapolei. Pu‘uokapolei is often acknowledged as the most sacred place in the entire ahupua‘a of Honouliuli. We know this from stories of our kūpuna that ha

ve been passed down, and also from a 1930 Bishop Museum report in which archaeologist Gilbert McAllister acknowledged Kapolei as the piko or epicenter of the Honouliuli ahupua‘a. Pu‘uokapolei was at one time a place of governance where Kamaunuaniho served as konohiki, remnants of her home still exist at the pu‘u today. Pu‘uokapolei was a place of solar observation and where the changing of the seasons was honored and celebrated. It is still celebrated today at the pu'u. It was here where very sacred and special things occurred.

Earlier this month, we planted 10 new trees at Puʻuokapolei! This is a beautiful public green space — come by and see how it’s growing. Even better, bring a jug of water to help feed and nurture these young trees. Every drop helps them thrive!
