According to this high priest and historian of Kamehameha I, from Wakea and Papa are born Kahikiku, Kahikimoe (“the foundation stones,” “the stones of heaven”), Hawaii, and Maui. While Papa is on a visit to Kahiki, Wakea takes another wife and begets Lanai, then takes Hina to wife and begets Molokai. The plover tells Papa on her return, and she in revenge bears to Lua the child Oahu. After this she returns to Wakea and bears Kauai and its neighboring islets.
