Description
Hiʻiakaikapoliopele is a female deity commonly called Hiʻiaka. She comes from Haumea. Hiʻiaka was born as an egg in the mouth of Haumea. She was then carried in the bosom of her elder sister Pele until she grew to be a young beauty. Her other divine relatives are Kapōʻulakīnaʻu, Kamohoaliʻi, Puʻuhele, Nāmakaokahaʻi and Kaʻōhelo. The chief ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū was a lover of hers. Hopoe was an ʻaikāne of hers. Hiʻiaka’s journey from Puna to Kaua’i in order to fetch Lohi’au as a husband for Pele is famous. She fought with moʻo during this journey. In one of these battles at Kualoa, the islet of Mokoliʻi was formed. The skilled works of Hiʻiaka are healing as well as hula. The palaʻā fern is a kinolau of hers.
