Hawaii Sacred Places
Sacred places in Hawaii are sites of great historical and
cultural significance. They are places of worship and some of them
are the locations of great historical events. They are still
precious and sacred to the Hawaiian people today, and when you visit
the places that are listed here, please be aware of how fragile they
are and show your respect by following some rules.
Heiaus often have a wall of lava rocks around them. Many times you
also find large rocks in inside a circle with offerings on top of
them.
Do not enter a heiau. Don’t climb over the rock walls. There is a
fine of $10,000 dollars for people who take parts and objects from a
historic site and who alter, destroy or excavate anything around the
area. Please obey any signs that might be there and if not, just use
your common sense.
Visiting those ancient places can get you in touch with history and
the spiritual life of the Hawaiian people. Let it be an enlightening
experience.
