Ke ala kahiko (the path of the old ones) tells the stories and memories of the Hawaiian people.
Hawaiʻi lacked a written language before western contact. The petroglyphs you will see provide not only a glimpse into the lives of those early Hawaiian people, but help us understand the value of the ʻohana (family). It is a tangible link to their life experiences, their struggles, and their successes. The full meaning behind some petroglyphs may only be known to their creators but their collective story is still told here through these images lovingly carved into rock. As you walk this path, you are continuing the legacy of Puʻuloa.
