Not named in the Māhele Book as an ahupuaʻa or ʻili kūpono. Originally, the ahupuaʻa of Waikiki included all the valleys "from the west side of Makiki valley away to the east side of Wailupe..." (Lyons 1874) Defined for catalog purposes as comprising Tax Map Keys 2800 and 2900, bounded makai by King Street, Ewa by Makiki, Koko Head by Palolo. Within this area are numerous ʻili and lesser parcels. See Sterling and Summers for stories.

It is currently located on the Cooke Family Estate and is part of the Mānoa Heritage Center.

The Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau was likely built by the menehune, then lost to the Chief Kūaliʻi. 

There were at one time 14 heiau in the Mānoa & Waikīkī area. 

Hipawai was a Heiau located on the makai side of Mānoa Church. Thrum writes: "of large size and pookanaka class. Partly destroyed many years ago - then used as place of burial." The remaining walls had subsequently been torn down.

Kawapopo Heiau is on what was known as Haʻalilo, but had been destroyed prior to 1850.

There is some doubt regarding Puʻuhonua Heiau at the site of Castle Home. "Site 65. Manoa Valley. Westervelt speaks of Puuhonua heiau at the site of the Castle home [vicinity of Puuhonua St.]. I doubt that this was a heiau."

Kauiomanoa Stone - said to be a "large rock in the middle of Mānoa Valley supposed location where Kauiomanoa (a mythical beauty) lived. 

Pohaku Loio Stone  marked the makai boundary in pahao and runs mauka to ka pohaku nui i kapaia o pohaku lolo at the northwest corner.

Kaʻaipu Stone described by Thrum as "about four feet in length, somewhat tapering toward one end and having a rather smooth bore of about three inches in diameter running through its entire length." This stone is said to be where the supernatural woman Kaʻaipu lived. Kaʻaipu was an Akua Wahine or Pohaku God with an "opening on the top of itʻs head" and considered another mouth.

The economy changed from subsistence to a market economy. This would leave many taro fields to become fallow. These would be be utilized by Japanese immigrants turning the fallow areas into rice fields. ]]> 2022-08-07 00:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2255995141 jmdavis94 https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2255999423 There are six streams in the Mānoa Valley that join with the Pālolo stream, coming together and feeding into the Ala Wai Canal in Honolulu.]]> 2022-08-07 01:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2255999423 jmdavis94 https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2256017633 #2139 Mānoa aliʻi, Mānoa kānaka.
Mānoa of the chiefs, Mānoa of the commoners.

In ancient days, an invisible line was drawn from the center from Puʻu Luahine, at the head of Mānoa Valley, to the center of Rocky Hill.

Mānoa Aliʻi, where the Chiefs lived - was located on the ʻEwa side of the Valley.

Mānoa Kanaka, where the commoners lived - was located east of this invisible line of valley. "The excreta of the chiefs was secretly burried by the kahu moka (protector and keeper of the excreta). This was an important position, for if any of the excreta fell into the hands of an enemy, the chief might die through sorcery. On the left side of the valley lived the chiefs and their retainers."

Land division usually extending from the uplands to the sea, so called because the boundary was marked by a heap (ahu) of stones surmounted by an image of a pig (puaʻa), or because a pig or other tribute was laid on the altar as tax to the chief.

Here, he discusses how indigenous people use this system to utilize the resources within an area, and how to make it work. People would look at the issues and work to find a solutions to certain problems. One problem he mentions here is that of algal blooms that could be harmful. But the solution was found to take this biproduct of the loʻi could be a valuable resource in fish ponds that would help to produce more fish than the ocean could produce on itʻs own.]]> 2022-08-07 18:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2256204615 jmdavis94 https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2256216643 In part II, Dr. Kawika Winter discusses the 5 bio-cultural zones within the ahupuaʻa.  
Wao Kanaka Zone - this area in the coastal area that is inhabited where housing, cultivation, fishing, temple worship and daily activities take place.
Wao Wālau - A place where items like hardwood, medicinal and fuel sources could be gathered, but not on a daily basis. This space, Dr. Winter mentions is managed to be perpetually abundant.
Wao Nāhele - the remote area of the forest usually visited by bird catchers. This area is not easily accessed.
Wao Kele - Extremely remote area, below the clouds. This area is known to be heavily saturated and cold.
Wao Akua - There is no extraction of sources in this area, meant to preserve and replenish the lower areas. This space was the core watershed area. ]]> 2022-08-07 19:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2256216643 jmdavis94 https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2256226420 2022-08-07 20:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jmdavis94/633n1ohxy8fezbru/wish/2256226420
