Kona ʻĀkau, the North Kona District, holds a continuum of stories—from the people who have lived here for generations to those who shape its present through culture, science, and work. Stories of Place gathers these voices, weaving together history, geology, plant life, and the experiences of past and present communities rooted in this land.
Once vast and alive, Pāʻaiea fed generations before disappearing beneath the 1801 flow. But what was lost from the land still echoes in wind, stone, and story.
