Description
Hāloa is a human born of Wākea and Hoʻohōkūkalani. He was named Hāloa after his elder brother, who was born right before him, Hāloanakalaukapalili. He was a stillborn. This child was buried and from his grave grew the first kalo plant.
The Hawaiian islands are Hāloa’s elder siblings born of Papa and Wākea. Hāloa, the human, was able to survive because of his elder siblings. The islands provided a place to live. Hāloanakalaukapalili, the first kalo plant, provided sustenance. Thus is the reason we have have subsequent generations of humans from that time until today. Hāloa lived with Hinamanouluaʻe. It is said that she is a form of Haumea. Together they had a child named Waia.
