Pana Oahu: Sacred Stones, Sacred Land

Acknowledgements

xvi This book to a large extent was a group effort and would not exist without the labors of many people. We are especially indebted to those who contributed their writing to it: Këhaunani Cachola-Abad, J. Mikilani Ho, Marion Kelly, and Käwika Makanani. Këhaunani Cachola-Abad, J. Mikilani Ho, and Marion Kelly also visited numerous sites with us, and contributed a vast store of knowledge that permeates the entire book. Puakea Nogelmeier, assistant professor of Hawaiian Language, and Lalepa Koga, lecturer in Hawaiian Language at the University of Hawai‘i, both spent many hours in reviewing the manuscript, as did Lorin Gill, Earl Neller, and Yvonne Singer. Our special thanks to Jonathan Kamakawiwo‘ole Osorio and Leialoha Perkins. Betty Kam at the Bishop Museum Archives arranged for permission to publish photographs of McAllister’s Hawaiian informants; we are indebted to her and to the Bishop Museum. The Executive Board of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs has given us much support throughout this project; without their aloha, it would not have been possible. In addition, dozens of others have been of tremendous help over the years in granting access, locating sites, helping to clear them, providing information, editing, and offering much encouragement . To all of them we are indebted for the strengths and accuracy of the book. Its weaknesses, of course, are our own.
