| Description |
This is a half-sized reconstruction of the Hale o Keawe temple. The framework is made from 'ohi'a wood tied with coconut fiber. The thatched roof was done with dried ti leaves. Hale o Keawe was built in honor of Chief Keawe-'i-kekahi-ali'i-o-ka-moku, the great grandfather of Kamehameha I. It was built to house the bones of Keawe-'i-kekahi-ali'i-o-ka-moku and other chiefs (ali'i) who became dieties when they died. Hale o Keawe replaced 'Ale'ale'a as the temple (heiau) of asylum at the pu'uhonua. As the years went on, the bones of other ali'i were placed inside the temple and by 1829, there were 23 sets of bones. Ki'i, wooden carved images, stand watch over the reconstructed temple. Offerings (ho'okupu) to the dieties were placed on the tower (lele) |
