SITES: SACRED & HISTORICAL

Hawaii is full of sacred and historical places. Many of these ancient and fragile sites are of great cultural significance to the Hawaiian people who regard the sacred monuments and heiaus (temples) as filled with mana (spiritual power). Prayer ceremonies and offerings continue at these places today. Many other sites are strictly historical in signficance.
