Ancient Hawaiian Temples at Wailua lecture

Kaua’i Historical Society and the Kauai Museum will co-sponsor a history

lecture, “Ancient Hawaiian Temples in Wailua” by David Helela with photos by

Randy Wichman on Thursday, Dec. 16, at the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort.

The

free lecture and slide presentation, which is open to the general public, will

be held in the resort’s Alii Room at 5:30 p.m. and again at 7 p.m.

David

Helela and Randy Wichman of Na Kahu Hikina A Ka La will give the lecture and

slide presentation on the ancient Hawaiian temples in Wailua. Their

presentation will seek to illustrate the spiritual basis of these sacred

places, the antiquity of the temples and the significance of Wailua in ancient

Hawaii. Their objective is simply to instill a Hawaiian sense of place to those

who attend the lecture.

The Museum and the Society jointly sponsor this

program to bring its members together, offering an opportunity to meet and

mingle for the holiday season. No host cocktails will be featured starting at 5

p.m. Dinner reservations are recommended for those wishing to have dinner at

the hotel before or after the lecture.

Those interested in learning about

the Kaua’i Historical Society and Kaua’i Museum are encouraged to attend. A

two-for-one new membership will be available for the first time. This will be a

first-ever, one time only New Year special opportunity.
