Olowalu, Hawaii
Olowalu is a community on the west side of the island of Maui in the state of Hawaii. It is located about south of Lahaina on the Honoapiilani Highway.
It sustained a large population, governed by the high chiefess Kalola, daughter of Maui ruler Kekaulike, and grandmother of Keopuolani. It was home to a traditional farming community until the arrival of the Europeans, who replaced it with a sugarcane plantation. The massacre in 1790 described below, as well as the labor-hungry sandalwood trade, contributed to the site's decline.〔("Olowalu's Gift" ) Article about the restoration at Olowalu by Rita Goldman. ''Maui No Ka 'Oi Magazine'' Vol.14, No.3 (May 2010)〕 A substantial real estate development is under consideration for the area. The area is home to one of Hawaii's most striking reefs.
==Puu Honua==
From ancient times, Olowalu was considered a place of refuge, or puu honua, by Hawaiians. Persons pursued for committing an offense against a family group or an ali'i (royal) were untouchable once they stepped inside its borders. Violating sanctuary was punishable by death. For Pacific Island cultures, maintaining a peaceful order was a deep cultural tenet. For people on Maui, Olowalu created an interval of space and time to resolve disputes.〔
