Local Legends

Hālawa, Molokaʻi

Halawa, HI

Hālawa Valley on Molokaʻi is among Hawai'i's oldest continuously settled and storied places — a thousand years of Hawaiian life, heiau and taro terraces beneath great twin waterfalls. Its night-marcher and guardian traditions are living Native Hawaiian culture, belonging to the valley's families and practitioners, and they are spoken of here with respect.
