Plaque in Waikiki honors stones of Kapaemahu, four gender-fluid Tahitians
HONOLULU — About 500 years ago, Hawaiians moved four boulders from Kaimuki to Waikiki to celebrate four gender-fluid healers who came from Tahiti. They were “mahu,” a Hawaiian term for people with dual male and female spirits.
On Tuesday, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi honored the stones of Kapaemahu with a plaque during a blessing ceremony, according to a news release.
