Sites of Maui
Sites of Maui is a single resource for information on the prehistory of Maui. Over a decade-long span, Elspeth P. Sterling combed Hawaiian-and English-language written records of Maui, talked with kupuna, and traveled the island with anthropologists and local informants to rediscover the sites named in documents and in tradition. This volume presents the results of those efforts---a compendium of Maui ethnography, anthroplogy, and history until now scattered throughout Hawaiian-language newspapers, hard-to-find ethnographic classics, and fieldnotes, manuscripts, and oral recordings in the Bishop Museum Archives and other Hawaiian collections.
Sites of Maui is organized as a trip around the island, through the twelve traditional districts. After the initial set of island-wide entries, readers travel from the district of Lahaina, through Ka‘anapali and Wailuku, then clockwise around East Maui through the remaining districts, and finally up to the Haleakala region.
