Pu'uwai, Hawaii

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puuwai village

Puʻuwai, which means heart in Hawaiian, is the main (and only) settlement on the Hawaiian island of Niʻihau. It is at the center of the small island, and the 160 (2000 census) Native Hawaiians who live in this village speak the Hawaiian language. The community lives as they did hundreds of years ago, and the modern amenities of life are extremely limited. Puʻuwai has a one-room schoolhouse. Niʻihau is located about 29 km (18 miles) west of Kauaʻi.
