Thanks SBH, I checked that out.
The late Hiroo Sato did a great job documenting history from the Issei, Nisei perspective.
Anyone know of Hawaiian history, I assume it would be captured in chants and stories? I believe Opihikao has shared stories.
From wikipedia (not that I trust it, so please feel free to correct if you find any inaccuracies):
"In the Hawaiian language, the word "Pahoa" means dagger or knife. It is unknown when the indigenous Hawaiians settled the area during pre-contact times, but the deep, rich soil and important protected archeological sites in the area suggest a long history of habitation. Legends associated with the Pahoa area are referenced in Hawaii's ancient oral history, i.e., in the Pele and Hi'iaka Myth." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pahoa,_Hawaii)
Do anyone know why Pahoa got its name?
Any other interesting historical tidbits about Pahoa? I'll bet Pahoa in the 80s and 90s was an interesting place...
