According to ancient Hawaiian legend, Kane',
the god of fresh water, brought an abundance to the previously arid Ke'anae peninsula , now the sight of Ke'anae
Village on the road to Maui's Hana and Kanaloa, god of the sea, surrounded the lava peninsula with the sea's
bounty.
"Ke'anae" is my interpretation of that early time.

Before there was a national refuge designated for
Kealia on the northern end of Kihei, the area was known simply as "the mudflats". Large pools formed in the rainy
season for a month or two of each year and then dried to small puddles of water surrounded by crusts of sludge
and sea weed. In the summer, the stench of decayed fish waffed into Kihei with every hint of a breeze and swarms of flying
insects covered the windshields of the cars that traveled the highway.
"The Mud Flats" was sometimes
a collection point for discarded cars and ice boxes. And at other times, when our county's funds could afford the pickup,
the area appeared pristine except for the tracks of the cars that used it as a shortcut to the back side of Maalaea. "Kealia
Mudflats" is that pristine time as I remember it.
