Description
Sunset of the gods
The Hawaiian Goddess Pele for the fire in the sky
The Hawaiian God of the sea Kanaloa
The Hawaiian goddess of the sunset Hina
And the four gods of the Ku’iloloa Heiau shown to the right side of the photo
The Heiau (sacred site) Ku’iloloa at Pokai Bay, in Waianae Hawaii is named after the Hawaiian Gods: Ku, Lono, Kane and Kanaloa. It was built in the 11th or 12 century by a Tahitian navigator Lonokaheo with stones that he brought from Tahiti. It is also said to be dedicated to Lonokaheo’s faithful dog (one of two Heiau in Hawaii dedicated to a dog). It is unique as it is surrounded by the ocean on three sides and considered at place of refuge and school of navigation.
