Puu Loa Petroglyphs People

The Puu Loa Petroglyphs, located off the Chain of Craters Road in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park are etched into old lava beds on the Big Island of Hawaii. Puu Loa meant 'Long Hill', and the Hawaiians interpreted it to mean 'Long Life', so for countless generations, fathers came to Puu Loa and placed their newborn's umbilical cord in small holes scattered about the site, hoping for a long life for their children.
