In the Akiona family facebook group I did some research and Jase Kalawaia has posted this great color photo with my family. This was found doing research on my great tutu Sarah Akiu Kamali daughter to Kulamita Pala. The elder lady in the top middle right is tutu Sarah's grandmother, named Kawaha Kaiha'a Kainapau and below her is Aunt Helena Kealohanui. Jase has the original black and white photo copy and chose to colorize it during quarantine and restored.

It was historically used for kalo farms. This ahupua'a is famous for the kalo farming and community that still instates and uses the ahupua'a system.

My sister Kylie Noelani Akiona drawn this with a certain quilt print. She chose this color because Maui's color is pink, she chose kalo because my ancestors and ʻohana are mahiʻai up Lākini. She drew this color in this style because she and me havenʻt been there, so she drew it from how she saw the kalo moving in the wind and in the reflection over the water in the loʻi. Her first source to see how they moved was first from the interview video with Abraham Akiona. Additionally, another picture from another photo she had found when doing research on moʻokūauhau. This photo was from a book including my kūpuna Helen Nākānelua including the reflections of the kalo leaves in the loʻi for the edge designs. The kalo variety our family grew is haʻakea with a whitened stem.

Wailuanui Hydrologic -- Geology Summary 

# data[].attributes.body
The Wailuanui hydrologic surface geology consists of permeable lava flows from the older Kula and younger Hana volacnic series on Maui.

Kula volcanics: Made of jagged ʻaʻā lava flows, these are dense and heavily weathered, forming valleys and supporting percehd high-level. groundwater in places like Ha'ikū

Hana volcanic: Comprised of smoother pāhoehoe and thin ʻaʻā flows, these are more permeable, yielding fresh water but often becoming brackish on the leeward side

Most of the are has a high permeability, especially in some Hana flows, allowing rainwater to easily penetrate, although some groundwater becomes brackish or mixes with older flows.

The coastal reigons include sediments and grabels that support limited groundwater discharge. A younger, highly permeable basalt area exists with natural springs.
