History
4
In a hot and arid environment, native Hawaiians (kanaka maoli) survived by using ancient fishing skills, including building fishponds, and by knowing the locations of precious fresh water (wai) that flows into the many brackish pools throughout the park. The spirit of the people (poe) and the knowledge of the elders (kupuna) created a tradition of respect and reverence for this area. The weather in the park is typically hot and sunny, with temperatures in the upper 80's.
