Moʻokini Heiau and the nearby birthplace of Kamehameha the Great is one of oldest historical sites in Hawaiʻi and among its most sacred. This heiau is a living spiritual temple and not just a historic artifact of the Hawaiʻian culture. Over 1500 years old, the temple was erected in 480 A.D. and dedicated to Kū, the Hawaiʻian god of war. The temple itself is the largest in Hawaiʻi.
