Sorry to say, your information is incorrect. That Heiau was a Kane Heiau. Befor Kamehameha conquered Oahu the West side did not worship any God other than Kane. Kamehameha did change it to a Heiau to Ku, but that was after hundreds of years of being a Kane Heiau. If you want to talk to some one who is a Chief of the Waianae coast look for Glen Kīla. His family was the ruling family from hundreds of years before Kamehameha or the westerners. His is my Uncle and where I got my info. By the way, that Heiau we used to watch the stars so planting could take place at the right time . It was agricultural. Not sacrifices. Kane accepts no dead gifts.
During a difficult time in my life, my Hawaiian friend invited me to her place in Oahu. One of the places she took me was a stone circle hidden away. She said I should write down a wish on a piece of paper , and place it in a crack in the wall to pray for that wish. I put one in for my kids, and one for my estranged husband. The one for my husband came unfurled, and popped out. The kids wish stayed put. My husband divorced me, but my kids are fine!
Another place I have not been to, but the cave has been treated unkindly by visitors and locals. I have to thank you for including my Kumu Hula Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu chanting. Your videos are wonderful and beautifully shot. I am not so sure that this was a Luakine Heiau (Human sacrifice).
+tuledude89 Hikers usually climb to the very top of Kamaile ridge and that is one heck of a climb. But, the Heiau was easy to get to although I was dripping with sweat when I reached it. To find the cave I had to make two trips, but once you know where it is - its a very easy trek. I have three more Hawaiian treks which I will post in the near future. Thanks for watching...........
Cool vido braddah im born and raised here live waianae all my life and i have always been intrested in my roots and ancient site i love beeing in the mountain if u every do another hike or do research lmk i like tag along learn....i actually went to kamaile elementary school and our kumu would tell use about the hawaiian people and the fresh water springs that ran under ground
Brah, don’t walk on the Heiau. It’s very disrespectful to the Hawaiian people and not to mention, the Hawaiians aren’t a lost civilization. The majority are literally living right below this video.
Aloha Alex. I was born in Hawai'i and I love history. I knew some Hawaiian history, but I never knew that there are petroglyphs and ancient sites on the islands. Some petroglyphs looks like the ones commonly found on North American continent. I currently live in Wisconsin now, I am a non native Hawaiian.
Jonathan, thanks for watching. There are many symbols throughout the world that resemble each other. We are all connected one way or another..................alex
Sacredness was taught to me as something we bring to a site we travel to. Therefore if the intention is sacred, the meaning and actions with it are too. I completely understand if tourists venture to places uneducated about the history, but it’s a fools choice to speak wrongly of another’s actions. Nature has its ways of dealing with human actions and that is the power of the olden people. They were in balance and harmony with nature, able to interpret its methods of communication to humans, and speak back to it. Something which most of this society has forgotten.
Kaniala Kalulu, thanks for watching and your comments - I appreciate them. I see that my actions - filming the site - has displeased some people. All I can say is that my intention in visiting these ancient sites is to open a portal in the viewers mind, to spark an interest, so that they may seek further knowledge, if they so desire..............alex
Hupo loa na malihini e hele wawae ma ka heiau kahiko. ʻihiʻihi ke kahua ina paha aole ia i malama ai a keia mau la. The Kanaka people are not a lost civilization because they are living. Also, the meaning isnʻt lost. That put the cherry on top lol. Keko

Wow, I haven't been to the cave or heiau. Hope to find it someday.

+Nancy Gorrell Nancy, I an glad to hear that things worked out with the kids and thanks for watching......alex
A moving story. I think with the appropriate outcome. I lived on Oahu from 79' to 84' and have been awed by these temples there and on the Big Island.
I feel supremely uncomfortable that you were traversing the heiau. Kapu! A drone would have been a better idea.
Faka is nawts gaurenz they followed him home
Alex! You have some awesome videos. Thankyou!
Thanks for watching.................alex

Sandra, thank you for watching and your kind words. Your chanting is wonderful.........alex
Thanks for the trek. Looks pretty rugged

You can find the song on Amazon.com by Mark Keali'i, Ho'omalu. Album: Po'okela chants.

I can see my house from the Heiau.
Who stack those enormous megalithic Boulders in the final scene? I wonder how many tons those Boulders weigh that someone stacked.
Hello giulio, the original native people of Hawaii carried the stones to that spot to build their temple. Its amazing......alex
Never walk on a heiau
You shouldn’t point at a heiau.
