Later, Ola sent the Menehune to build a heiau at the mouth of the 

 Wailua River, which was to be called Hauola, after the famous city of 

 refuge of his father at Kekaha. 



The Menehune encamped above Haena on the flats which they called 

 Kanaloa-hulu-hulu. At Ola's request they planted taro on the cliffs of 

 Kalalau, where it is still growing. Between Kalalau and Waimea they 

 built a big inin, called Kapuahi-a-Ola, and the Fire-Sacred-to-Ola. 



Ola was ever thinking of improvements for his people, and his faithful 

 laborers, the Menehune, carried them out. Many roads were built by 

 them. One was a road of short sticks through the swamps of Alakai from 

 Waimea to the heights above Wainiha. This road is still the only path 

 across the otherwise impassable swamp.
