I kēia lā, ua aʻo mākou no ka mōʻaukala o nā kānaka ma ʻIlelani. ʻAʻohe kanaka o ka wā mesolithic; ʻike ʻia nā mea hana mua a nā kānaka ma kapakai ma ʻō a ma ʻaneʻi ma ka wā neolithic (ma kahi o ka makahiki 7000 B.C.) Na kēia poʻe i kūkulu i nā hē, nā pā pōhaku, a me nā kiʻi pōhaku a mākou i ʻike ai i kēia lā. Ua ola lākou ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka poʻe Celts ma kahi o ka makahiki 300 A.D. ʻO nā mea hana pōkaku a me nā mea wale nō a mākou i ʻike ai nā mea a lākou i waiho ai. ʻAʻole maopopo leʻa ka poʻe kālaikanaka no hea mai kēia poʻe, akā, like nā mea hana pōhaku a lākou i hana ai me kā ka poʻe o Palani i hana ai ma ia wā hoʻokahi.
