See Honokahua Burial Site Historical Marker, Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii
This site is of cultural significance to Native Hawaiians and is off-limits to the general public, please respect the signage. Hawaiians believe that their ancestors' spirits continue to protect these lands.
An estimated that 2,000 Hawaiians have been laid to rest near the coast here, dated between AD 610 and 1800. The remains of 900 native Hawaiians were unearthed when digging began for the Ritz-Carlton in the late 1980s, and when the importance of this discovery was realized, the luxury hotel was moved inland as to not disturb this sacred.
The burial site is covered with well-maintained grass and flanked by a native hau hedge.
