For more than 2,000 years, the significance of Lono and his contributions to the beliefs and practices of the early Hawaiian people influenced the celebration of events held during Makahiki festivals throughout the Hawaiian Islands. According to the ancient lunar calendar of Hawai`i, the beginning of the Hawaiian new year began on the first night of the rising of the star constellation Makali`i (Pleiades). The four months following the rise of the Makali`i, from October to the end of January, was set aside as a time for Lono to give thanksgiving for the bounty of the land and sea. During the time of the Makahiki, all warfare was strictly forbidden in reverence to Lono being the embodiment of all the characteristics of peace and welfare. Since Lono represented the spiritual life-force that came out of all agricultural efforts, the people celebrated with feasting of every kind during the four months of the Makahiki. This focus on health and welfare was also celebrated with games of skill that tested a healthy body and mind – a focal point of the Makahiki games. The annual Makahiki at Waimānalo is an important celebration of the past that will help redefine our relationship as contemporary people of Hawai`i for the future. Paralleling the western tradition of Thanksgiving, the Makahiki at Waimānalo will not only help to improve relationships between the military, Hawaiian, and non- Hawaiian communities but also establish an awareness of the rich pre-western Hawaiian traditions and history of the lands surrounding Waimānalo
