Black and white image of a pond and island

This week’s UH News Image of the Week is the sacred island of Mokuʻula, which was once encompassed by the pond known as Loko o Mokuhinia in Lahaina. From 1837 to 1845, King Kamehameha III lived on the tiny island, and under his rule, Lahaina became the official first capital of the constitutional monarchy that set the foundation for judicial and executive branches of government.
