Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site, Hawai'i
Today, the term “Aloha Spirit” is often used to describe Hawai’i’s culture of kindness, compassion, unity, cooperation, and respect for others. But it wasn’t always that way. During the late 1700s, Hawai’i was in the midst of a terrible civil war between two warrior chiefs, Kamehameha and his first cousin, Keōua Ku’ahu’ula. Kamehameha emerged victorious over Keōua at the massive 224 by 100 feet “heiau” (temple) of Puʻukoholā Heiau (Temple on the Hill of the Whale). Available as a poster, framed print, notecard, postcard, metal sign, or canvas, this original national park art would look great on any wall. For a full list of national park sites in all 50 states, check out the official website for the National Park Service.
