Note 29 — PREFACE. (continued 6)

Let us talk about this day so that it may be made plain. At Hikapoloa was the temple where the makahiki god was preserved, on coming up from Mookini. It was a large temple in the low lands of that name, in the ahupuaa of Puuepa, Kohala, Hawaii. At Hikapoloa two gods were set up. The gulch remains to this day. There were two gods, a wooden and feather god. The feather god goes mountainward along the cliffs; the wooden god goes on the inside.29
