Kuamoo Burials, Archaeological burial site in Kona District, United States
The Lekeleke Burial Grounds contain terraces of lava rock where fallen warriors from both sides of the 1819 conflict rest beneath stone markers.
In December 1819, over 300 Hawaiian warriors died during a battle between forces supporting traditional religion and those following the new government order.
The burial ground holds profound meaning in Hawaiian heritage as the final resting place of Kekuaokalani, who defended the ancient Kapu religious system.
Located at coordinates 19.550817, -155.958883, the National Register of Historic Places site requires visitors to maintain respectful behavior during their visits.
The burial ground marks the location of Hawaii's last major armed conflict regarding religious practices, where rifles and a cannon mounted on canoes determined the outcome.
