Naha Stone

Hilo, HI

A large sacred stone displayed outside Hilo Public Library is tied to chiefly genealogy and to the tradition that a young Kamehameha moved the stone, fulfilling a prophecy of future power. It should be treated as a cultural object, not climbed on or handled for photographs.

Filed under folklore: stories a place tells about itself, passed down and still repeated.
