The Kamawaelualani Digital Library

kahu roddy akau

Kahu Roddy Kamawaelualani Kawehi Akau is recognized as the cultural steward of Moanalua Valley.  Listen, as kahu shares the origin story of  Moanalua Ahupua'a.  Saved from development of a new tunneled freeway, this historically rich district once provided food for most of Kona, and is one of the last undeveloped valleys of Honolulu.  Through Kinohi - Beginnings - as early as the 13th Century, Moanalua Ahupuaʻa is a remarkable example of  Kūlō'ihi - Endurance.

KAHU RODDY AKAU
