Four large Tikis were erected yesterday at the corner of a heiau in Poipu yesterday. A heiau is a Hawaiian temple.
This heiau, like most, is in ruins, but perhaps it is going to be restored.
They built a long massive lava rock wall bordering the road, ending at the intersection in a square rock platform. Set in the platform are the four Tikis, apparently facing towards the four compass points.
This is on the southeast corner of the intersection of Poipu Rd and Hoowili Rd, which is sort of 'behind' Brennecke's Broiler if you know the area.

Each has Ti leaf plants tied on, from the ceremony yesterday.

I couldn't get good shots of these two, as the morning sun was behind them. I'll go back at a better hour.

The sign in front.

I hope to find out details about them soon, like the carver's name, type of wood, etc., and will add to the post when I do.

Viva Kate!
