Mapping the Ahupua`a of Hawai`i
In
Hawai`i, sustainability begins with the ahupua`a
,
which are
the ancient
ecosystems and traditional communities on each island.
TKI's
exclusive
wall posters help you find your ahupua`a
and learn about the
ahupua`a concept in
Hawaiian culture...then and now.
These first modern maps of
the ahupua`a
identify the
pie-shaped land
divisions from the mountain to the sea on each
major Hawaiian island. Based on over 12 years of in-depth research,
these maps present the best
available info on the ahupua`a
of old using the latest GIS tools.
TKI's Art Poster Maps of the Ahupua`a
Only
from The Kauaian
Institute, based on 2 decades of
research into these ancient boundary lines and place names, the wall
posters for each island are printed in full-color on glossy paper, and
feature an exquisite Landsat image overlaid
with the ahupua`a boundaries plus extensive supplemental geo-data,
including summits, waterfalls, streams, ditches, wetlands, reefs, trust
lands, modern towns and roads. Each poster includes a
brief
overview of the ahupua`a concept, and a version number (to track TKI's ongoing
research).
