OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The
Hikinaakala (Rising of the Sun) Heiau is one
of seven sacred heiaus at Wailua, Kauai's
royal center. Constructed around 1300, it
served as a refuge for people who had broken
kapu (taboo). Interpretive signs and a trail
have been built. Nearby lies the Holoholoku
site, another royal property, and the
Kalaeokamanu Heiau. Here one can find a
flat-backed birthstone, where queens gave
birth to future kings, and the stone where
the piko, or umbilical cord, of a royal baby
was left. |
