Sites of Maui

SITES OF MAUI is a single resource for information on the prehistory of Maui. Over a decade-long span, Elspeth P. Sterling combed Hawaiian- and English-language written records of Maui, talked with kupuna, and traveled the island with anthropologists and local informants to rediscover the sites named in documents and in tradition. This volume presents the results of those efforts--a compendium of Maui ethnography, anthropology, and history until now scattered throughout Hawaiian-language newspapers, hard-to-find ethnographic classics such as Abraham Fornander's Collection of Hawaiian Antiquities and Folk-lore, and fieldnotes, manuscripts, and oral recordings in the Bishop Museum Archives and other Hawaiian collections.
