Ko`olaupoko Ahupua`a Boundary Markers -
An historic event!

In a landmark event, our communities of Ko`olaupoko celebrated the unveiling of the first ahupua`a boundary marker located at the intersection of Kane`ohe Bay Drive and Mokapu Road, on Friday, Jan. 28th.  These signs are the work product of the Ko`olaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club, which collaborated with the Kailua and Waimanalo civic clubs and planned the project with their help and that of the neighborhood boards from Kahalu`u, Kane`ohe, Kailua, Waimanalo and Hawaii Kai, and later with the Maunalua Hawaiian Civic Club.  The project resulted in establishment of a "new state standard", the official ahupua`a sign that will be authorized for use to mark boundaries for ahupua`a throughout the state.  Understanding the boundaries of our ahupua`a will enable our communities to connect with and become better stewards of our own ahupua`a. Anyone wishing to participate in stewardship activities in any of the ahupua`a should contact the civic club office at 235-8111 or e-mail: malamapono@aol.com. The ahupua`a of the Ko`olaupoko (Windward) district include: Kualoa, Hakipu`u, Waikane, Waiahole, Ka`alaea, Waihe`e, Kahalu`u, He`eia, Kane`ohe, Kailua, and Waimanalo (Maunalua included).
