June's general membership meeting at Ulupō included about 30 people-hours of work in our three pūnāwai. Sites of Oahu explains that these springs were used to "wash pigs" for offerings on the heiau above, but other accounts of the purity of the water, its source beneath the heiau, and its importance to the loʻi below all suggest otherwise to those of us who do our best to listen to the stones. Mahalo to all who brought/sent food to fuel our efforts, to Aunty Grace Hu and Clara Burrows in particular.
