Preserved within Pu'uloa are the stories and memories of the Native Hawaiian people

Pu'uloa, or Long Hill, is home to a unique and spiritual collection of petroglyphs that record the history and culture of the native Hawaiian people who have used this site for centuries in Hawai'i, testifying to its cultural and scientific significance. For many native Hawaiian 'ohana, Pu'uloa is a revered sacred site where families continue unique traditions and ceremonial practices in hope of blessing their children with a long life, making these journeys essential to the continuation of rich cultural traditions and the legacy of Pu'uloa. The trail to this revered cultural landmark has carried the footsteps of ali'i, kanaka maoli, and malihini, and the petroglyphs are carved into the thin, fragile crust of a four hundred- to seven hundred-year-old lava flow.
