Legend of the rock:
Many years ago the man Nanaloa and his wife Kawahuna lived on this green hill of Puu Lua. One day a beautiful young girl appeared and began to admire herself in a pool of water. Nanaloa watched admiringly and the girl returned a smile to his reflection in the pool. Growing jealous, the wife grabbed the young girl by the hair. Nanaloa hit his wife in quick-tempered anger and sent her tumbling down a nearby cliff where she turned to stone. Nanaloa also turned to stone, but his power remains in this male rock. It is said if a woman goes to Kauleonanahoa with offerings and spends the night, she will return home pregnant.
