Not all holua slides had walls but nearly all those on Hawaii Island do. The purpose was to hold the rock in the slide in some sections and in areas that needed to be raised. When you mention moving of logs from mauka-makai that is an important point because the koa forest line was at a lower elevation when we were gathering the great trees for our wa`a, papahe`enalu, etc. This was the main purpose of the slides thousands of years ago, which overtime changed to reflect an association to the gods of the wao kele (upland forest) and the spirituality we connected with then and now. The physical cultural landscape found of the holua slides is the telling of the story what made these specific areas important to our cultural practices especially since this massive complex is connected to Pa`ao, his lineage, and the great Ali`i Nui of this mokupuni (island). There were several significant complexes along this coastline but none as grandeur. Kaneaka in Keauhou/Kahalu`u is another. Waha`ula, Mo`okini, and Kahikinui (Maui) were the earlier complexes established for migration purposes and the change in religion. The Holualoa complex solidifies the complete adaptation to the established religion of Pa`ao.

The history of Holualoa is truly remarkable, and I know I have only scratched the surface. One question I have, the intact portion of the holua at the Holualoa inn has a rock wall on both sides. Would these walls have been built at the same time? Perhaps to keep the logs https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=a5l 806dd8e&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3Al 637917078304009755&simpl=msg-f%3A1637917078... 1/4
