Kipuka Database is part of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) with a mission to "create a repository of knowledge where information about Hawai‘i’s land, culture and history can be easily accessed, to develop a virtual mo‘oku‘auhau [genealogy] of land tenure in Hawai‘i, and to provide an opportunity for individuals to forge new relationships between themselves and the ‘aina (land) that is most important to them". Kipuka is a geographical information system (GIS) that utilizes the latest mapping technologies.
Overview
There were only a total of 4 search results for Kukuipahu in the Kipuka database. I was able to find a bit more information on the people connected to this ahupuaʻa through Land Commission Award documents, and visualize the boundaries and locations of Kukuipahu through Kipuka's GIS mapping. The land boundaries of Kukuipahu from Kipuka can be found on the 'About' page. What is helpful about this repository is that it has other related links available on every page and the community is allowed to add commentary and submit data to the database. There was only one page that had this type of data embedded in it and it was from the IARII, International Archaeological Research Institute, Inc.
