ʻEwa is a moku on the island of Oʻahu, located in the south central portion of the island. This moku is perhaps most well-known for, and centered around, "ke awa lau o Puʻuloa," also referred to as "Pearl Harbor" today, once intensively cultivated with loʻi kalo (kalo patches) and loko iʻa (fish ponds). According to the Buke Māhele of 1848, there are fourteen ahupuaʻa in the moku of ʻEwa. However, we have included a fifteenth ahupuaʻa on this page, Mānana Nui, because it is listed in the Index of Land Commission Awards as such.
