Look out across the stark and barren landscape stretching out before you.  Although seemingly inhospitable, Hawaiian settlements thrived here for many years.  Surrounding you are the clues that tell the story of how the people that once lived here raised crops, harvested from the sea and practiced their religion.

 
Coconut tree  

Did You Know?
Did you know, the coconut tree was an extremely important resource brought to Hawaii by the early Polynesians. It was a source of food and water, used for building homes and rope making, and was also a musical instrument. Cutting down the coconut grove of another was considered an act of war.
