Waialua / Waikele / Waipio / Wahiawa

Located in Waikakalaua Gulch, the Oahu Nui stone is a famous pohaku to the old travelers on the paths from the leeward side to Waialua marking the old division of land between more than one Ahupua'a. It takes the name of a young ruler of Halemano that took a liking for human flesh after being introduced to it by some rouge group of subtle man-eating Polynesians living in the nearby area.
After they were annihilated, Oahu Nui still craved for flesh and set about a way to eat his sister's children after sending their father on an errand for fish from the fishponds away toward the ocean. Once the father returned to see his children's remains and finding Oahu Nui in Waikakalaua Gulch. He cut his head off and then "upbraided" his wife before ending her as well for forsaking their children and withholding her matching power of Kapu to stop Oahu Nui's demands. Eventually all that were involved with causing this frightening event in the island's history turned into stones around the stream in memorial. Even leading to the migrating of the rest of the highest ranking families to Waikiki and from then on. After an uncounted amount of years dwelling in the center of the island at Helemano.

With the directions given to me by the artist, John "Prime." The first stone in the park caught me by surprise because of it's size but it was not the stone I was looking for. It does look like a slobbering head though in some strange way. I searched along the stream and finally found the spot where he had just recently visited and was even lucky enough to experience some mo'olelo when he was here. 

Some holes are all over the stone for some reason. I'm not sure if they mark certain coinciding spots on the island or if they are used to hold something in them.

More holes in what would be the "Waianae" side of the stone

The last two images are two stones sitting right next to the Oahu Nui stone. There are quite a bit more stones all around the main one and into the stream but these two are the closest. Seeming to have more holes on them but not the same size as on the Oahu Nui.

Viewing from the side and upstream you can really see the rise in the center of the stone along with the others surrounding it.

On the way out I noticed this stone sitting on the opposite side of the stream.
