1-23-2025 HISTORIANS & WRITERS VISIT HEIAU

On January 23, 2025, two visitors from New York requested a visit to the heiau. As historians and writers, they are engaged with the historical contexts of the Adirondack Mountain region and thus very interested in the background of Hawaiian culture and religion "visible" at the heiau.

The heiau hui continues to assist cultural organizations and individuals in the education, examination, protection, and corroboration of relative cultural interests, as part of its on-going stewardship of one of the Island's treasured historic preservation wahi pana.
