The Birthing Stones of Kūkaniloko, Oahu, Hawai'i

The Birthing Stones in the center of Oahu are the traditional place of birth of Hawaiian Royalty. The Hawaii State Parks describe the importance of this sacred site:
These uplands were a place where chiefs were born, where famed chiefs lived, and where key battles for the control of O'ahu were fought. The royal birthsite of Kukaniloko and the associated Ho'olonopahu Heiau (temple), now destroyed, were within the Waialua district. Nearby was Lihu'e within the lands of Wai'anae Uka. Lihu'e was a noted royal center of O'ahu between A.D. 1400-1500. The chiefs of this area were called Lo chiefs who preserved their chiefly kapu by living in the uplands of Waialua.
