Just something I dug up from my NCL Cruise-ship days in Hawai'i. Iao Valley is to the left, which is Hawaiis own Death Valley- MAJOR Kamehameha battles waged here, viewed from Port of Kahului, Maui.
The Hawaiian god Kāne is considered to be the procreator and the provider of life. He is associated with wai (fresh water) as well as clouds, rain, streams and springs. Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the underworld, is represented by the phallic stone of the ʻĪao Needle.

The battle was said to be so bloody that dead bodies blocked ʻĪao Stream, and the battle site was named Kepaniwai ("the damming of the waters").
