Abstract
This is the final summary report of the Makaha Valley Historical Project. Makaha is a leeward valley on O'ahu. The history of the Wai'anae district is discussed as it relates to the Makaha Valley in traditional and historical accounts. The valleys natural resources (fresh water, rainfall, soils, and the available marine resources) are discussed. The project examined temporary field shelters, permanent dwellings, and specialized structures such as HEIAU or temples. Of special concern to Green was whether there was a permanent settlement on the coast when Makaha Valley was an AHUPUA'A. Green discusses when the valley was first settled, its agriculture, its probable prehistoric population, and Makaha Valley as an AHUPUA'A.
