"Informative and Interesting"
The temple was completely restored and earned national park status in 1961. During the restoration local artists studied old records and drawings from ancient voyaging ships to give the site as much authenticity as possible. They used traditional techniques and tools to carve the renditions of the gods from large ohia logs.
