Ahupua`a are
the traditional ancient
divisions of
our Hawaiian isles.
This sign represents the
pile of stones marking the
boundary. Sacrifice of pig
(Pua`a) were placed
atop the pile.
Each Ahupua`a district
was like a slice of pie:
Thin inland atop the mountain,
broadening out like a pie slice
to encompass a stretch of coast.
The people of each Ahupua`a
enjoyed the bounty of
Mountain, Plains, and the Beach
with it's fish and sea vegetables.
