'O Na Moi 'Ehukai, or the Moi fish of the red salt spray is in reference to the wahi pana/sacred places along this course as descibed by the Hawaiian Historian Samuel M. Kamakau. In his story, 'Alala point (Lanikai point), Popo i'a (Flat Island) and the area of Ka'ohao (Lanikai) is the birthplace of Kuali'i, one of the last Mo'i or King of O'ahu who lived to 150 years old. Another wahi pana along this course takes us to Ulupa'u crater on Mokapu, a part of this crater is the cliffs of Puka Ulua or Ulua hole, where the famous Mo'i Kahekili of Maui loved to cliff jump 200-300 feet into the rough sea. Through battle, Kahekili was the one to end the line of O'ahu Kings. A third place on this journey is Moku Kapu (Mokapu) or sacred island. Here is where Peleiholani lived, the son of Kuali'i. Which made it a kapu or sacred island. Kamehameha the great also used Mokapu as his place to hold chiefly councils, and became the fourth Mo'i to have spent time at Mokapu.
'O Na Moi 'Ehukai makes reference to the moi swimming in the ocean. Moi were only reserved for the ali'i to eat. The Moi are the Kings who continue to inspire us and hold us accountable to these mo'olelo (stories) in order for these wahi pana to remain alive and culturally relevant to all of us. These are the stories from our historian Samuel M. Kamakau. The namesake of this school which this fundraiser is for.
