ALAKOKO (MENEHUNE FISHPOND) - Architectural Discussion
Discussion by an Architect on the cultural and environmental stewardship of the Alakoko (Menehune Fishpond). Menehune Fishpond is located just above the Nawiliwili Harbor. Alakoko (Menehune Fishpond) got its name from the legend that a small race of people known as Menehune built these ponds 1,000 years ago. The ponds which create a dam across a portion of the Huleia River was used to trap fish to feed the ali’i (Hawaiian royalty). Large stones were used to create walls 900 feet across and five feet high. Legend says the ponds were completed overnight.
