PUNA, Hawaiʻi – An examination of Hawaiian oral traditions leads to a consideration of whether Kualoloa would be a more appropriate name for the ʻAilāʻau lava flow field. (BIVN) – A lava flow that erupted from what is now Kīlauea Iki in the early 1400s – named ʻAilāʻau by a researcher in the 1970s – may have already been named Kualoloa, according to older Native Hawaiian chants.
