OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Ka`ena Point, the westernmost
point on O`ahu, is the site of one of the
last intact dune ecosystems in the main
Hawaiian Islands. Here, beyond the end of
the busy roads of O`ahu, is an area known
since ancient times as leina a
ka`uhane, the leaping place of souls,
where the spirits of the recently dead could
be reunited with their ancestors. Today, you
can walk there among the living: Hawaiian
plants and animals that have made the rugged
ancient shoreline their home for thousands
of years. |
