[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683855, member: 19522"] [B] 3. Historical Associations with Hebraic Cities of Refuge[/B] Early European visitors to Honaunau, trying to place the Hawaiian term [I]pu'uhonua[/I] within a context they could understand, used the term "city of refuge" for this area. Although it little resembled the cities of refuge in Jerusalem, because it was neither a city or even a settlement and because protection was granted to [I]both[/I] the innocent and the guilty, the name clung to the site through succeeding generations of visitors and scholars. A "logical" conclusion of this misnomer was that the Hawaiian people must have descended from one of the lost Hebrew tribes.
