Kahu David Keli'ihelemauna <br /> Roy, Jr. led that effort for Akua and became Kahu of Ahu'ena Heiau by Akua and the people in the 'Aha <br /> Kumu Pono, the Gathering for True Foundations, at Kamakahonu. Ahu'ena Heiau is the first restored <br /> Temple of worship in the Hawaiian Islands, in the Pacific and in the world. <br /> The restoration of Ahu'ena Heiau (translated as Burning Altar referring to the Great Light there)was <br /> guided by Akua in the Kahu and in the hearts of the men who came from all islands with the main working <br /> crew coming from Kona. There was no Office of Hawaiian Affairs, no presence of a state historic <br /> preservation department, only dedicated and faithful individuals with pride for the heritage of'Oiwi, pride <br /> in their bloodlines and respect for the First Capital of the Kingdom of Hawai'i unified by Kamehameha- <br /> the-Great. I'm instructed by the Ancestors that all members of the steady crew that restored Ahu'ena Heiau <br /> are to be acknowledged as AliT <br /> Kahuna La'au Lapa'au Morrnah N. Simeona said that the Seventies were a time of great spiritual growth <br /> for Hawaii and her First People. Among numerous efforts carried out meaningfully in the communities, <br /> Hokdle'a traveled to Kahiki, Ho'oponopono was implemented at the Geneva Convention and taught to the <br /> world and Ahu'ena Heiau was restored in the Hawaiian Islands. <br /> Halau No`eau Kahelemauna• House-of-Wisdom-of-the-Mountain-Roaming-Chief <br /> 78-6822 Kuakini Highway•Kailua-Kona,Hawaii 96740 <br />
