History

Hawaiian legend says that a giant lizard, or “mo’o”, once patrolled this section of land. The lizard, Laniloa, once battled a man named Kana. The man easily won, despite the lizard’s reputation for taking the lives of passerbys. Kana divided the body of Laniloa into five pieces, which are now the five off-shore islands near La’ie point.
