. "Kohala is the name of the northwest portion of the island of Hawai\u02BBi in the Hawaiian Archipelago. In ancient Hawaii it was often ruled by an independent High Chief called the Ali\u02BBi Nui. In modern times it is divided into two districts of Hawaii County: North Kohala and South Kohala. Locals commonly use the name Kohala to refer to the census-designated places of Hala\u02BBula, H\u0101w\u012B, and Kapa\u02BBau collectively."@en . .
