Aloha Koloa Community Association members This Thursday, October 21 at 6:30pm at our quarterly general membership meeting, we will have Rupert Rowe present the story of the site history and effort to preserve and restore the heiau, and the partnership with the County designating his group to be the stewards of the property.

Rupert Rowe is the president of Hui Malama O Kaneiolouma heiau. The Kaneiolouma Heiau complex is considered sacred to the Hawaiian culture and an important historic landmark to the residents of Kauai.

 Currently known as the Poipu Beach Park Mauka Preserve, the stewardship group Hui Malama O Kaneiolouma is proposing to clear, maintain, and rehabilitate this complex as a public cultural preserve. The Kaneiolouma Heiau complex is a component of Poipu Beach Park and by preserving and enhancing both elements, the County of Kauai is enriching its world class destination.

Yet, perhaps more important to us as an island, is a sense of pride that our unique cultural heritage is preserved in perpetuity. Please join us and bring your ohana. Mahalo nui loa Koloa Community Association HUI MALAMA O KANEIOLOUMA The Stewards of Kaneiolouma Heiau
