A'le'ale'a Heiau and Great Wall,. Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historial Park, South Kona District, Island of Hawai'i

• Breaking religious kapu in old Hawai'i was to invite death, swiftly executed and designed to emphasize the offence. Yet for the violator of kapu there was a chance of escape: the pu'uhonua or place of refuge. By fleeting and entering the walls of a pu'uhonua the condemned could find sanctuary, be absolved, and return to society unharmed.
