New research has uncovered evidence that an ancient Hawaiian heiau (place of worship, shrine) served as a sophisticated seasonal calendar and more, demonstrating the advanced scientific knowledge of Native Hawaiian culture. The research, published in Waka Kuaka, the journal of The Polynesian Society, examined Hapaialiʻi Heiau near Kahaluʻu Beach Park on Hawaiʻi Island.
