It's essential to know the terminology for land divisions when doing research based on place in Hawaiʻi. Know the following for your location:
• Mokupuni = Island or County (e.g. Oʻahu)
• Moku = District or Zone (e.g. Kona)
• Ahupuaʻa = Division or Section (e.g. Kapālama)
• ʻIli = Smaller division within ahupuaʻa (e.g. Niuhelewai stream)
AVA Konohiki, or Kipuka, can help as you start your research, or look at the Maps/Atlases on the Online Resources tab of this guide.
The Hawaiian Legends Index can help you find moʻolelo/stories related to places in Hawaiʻi. This index was begun at the Hawaiʻi State Library, and in addition to Hawaiʻi contains some locations in Polynesia.
