Think back to Kenneth Emory’s statement.
“The most that can be said for picture writing [petroglyphs] among Hawaiians is that it is in an experimental stage. Certain places and bowlders were favored for the carving of petroglyphs partly on account of the suitableness of the rock and partly, no doubt, because the practice had there gained a start. No special significance need to be attached to the location of the petroglyph centers except perhaps that they were places often visited by the travelling native.”
On your walk back consider the following and share your thoughts with a ranger at the visitor center:
How do you feel about Emory’s statement after completing your walk through Puʻuloa?How has a family tradition or story helped make you who you are today?
How has your view of indigenous cultures changed?
