Images from 25+ years documenting the Nāpali Coast State Park.
The book opens with place names, names of the winds of Miloliʻi and Hawaiian legends to pay homage to those that lived there for over 700 years.
Our latest book is on the large format documentation of the ancient Hawaiian sites located within Miloliʻi, the first in a series on the land districts within Nāpali Coast State Park. Included inside are the Hawaiian place names and legends as well as the archaeological information.
For us this book was produced as a way to Mālama Nāpali, to care for and protect through documentation and education!
