Pōhakuohauola
There is a stone in the sea at Lahaina, Maui, called Pōhakuohauola, where pregnant women went to sit to ensure an easy birth. Recognized as a healing rock, it was believed that ailing people had only to sit in the seat, dangle their legs in the water, and let the waves wash over them to regain their health. Since this rock was a sacred place and not likely to be disturbed, it was also used as a pōhaku piko, or hiding place for the umbilical cords of newborn children.
