The northeastern district on Oʻahu between Waialua and Koʻolaupoko. Famed for fertile lands that were highly cultivated and good areas for fishing along the shoreline. On the northern end, Waimea and Pūpūkea were seats of government power. The heiau at Puʻu o Mahuka being associated with the Oʻahu kahuna Kaʻōpulupulu. Because of the large and dangerous size of the waves, Waimea bay is known to attract surfing. Kaliuwaʻa is associated with the deity Kamapuaʻa, and Hiʻiakaikapoliopele traveled through the moku specifically at Kahana and Kaʻaʻawa where she visited with the supernatural dog Kauhikeimakaokalani.
