Uncle Bruce Yoshio Keaulani, kahu (left), greets Rear Adm. Stephen Barnett, commander, Navy Closure Task Force - Red Hill (NCTF-RH), March 24, 2024 on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Volunteers and members of local Native Hawaiian Organizations Members came together to build a traditional lava rock wall around the Halealoha Haleamau burial vault located on the JBPHH installation.
Constructed in 1997 by Hawaiian stone masons near Fort Kamehameha, it is considered a wahi pana, or sacred place, and maintained by volunteer efforts several times each year.
The vault, named Halealoha Haleamau (House of Aloha, House of Eternity), stands as a memorial to the kupuna who have gone before us, and a reminder to protect and honor the legacy of the original peoples of Hawaii.
