Pu'uhonua O Hōnaunau was a place of refuge where those who had broken the sacred laws, the kapu, and faced death as punishment could survive by reaching its boundaries. It also protected defeated warriors and civilians during times of battle, and no physical harm could come to those who entered the Pu'uhonua.
