be the fourth generation of the Tahiti chiefs, and she called his name Te Arii Taria, and 

 he became chief over that jiart of Tahiti called Taharuu. 



It is thus on account of her being the mother of chiefs, both here and in Tahiti 

 that she is called Papa Nui Hanau Moku. She is said to have been a comely, handsome 

 woman, very fair and almost white. 



Papa is said to have traveled eight times between Tahiti and Hawaii, and died in 

 a ])lace called W'aieri, in Tahiti, during the time of Nanakehili, the fifth descendant from 

 her and \\ akea. 



37. W'akea was a wicked and bad man. He instituted the bad and oppressive 

 kapus, such as that men and women could not eat together; that women could not eat red 

 fish, hogs, fowl or other birds, and some kinds of bananas. These kapus were put on to 

 spite and worry Papa, on account of her growling at and reproaching him for his wicked- 

 ness. \^'akea also departed from the ancient worship and introduced idol worship, and 

 many people followed him, because they were afraid of him. 



Hawaii Loa was born on the eastern shore of the land of Kapakapaua-a-Kane. 

 One of Hawaii Loa's grandchildren was called Keaka-i-Lalo ( w ) whom he married to Te 

 Arii Aria, one of his brother Ki's grandchildren, and he placed them at Sawaii, where 

 they became the ancestors of that people, Sawaii being then called Hawaii-ku-lalo. 



Afterwards Hawaii Loa revisited Tahiti and found that his brother Ki had for- 

 saken the religion in which they were brought up, that of Kane, Ku and Lono, and 

 adopted Ku-waha-ilo, the man-eating God, (ke Akua ai kanaka ) as his God. After quar- 

 reling with his brother on this account, Hawaii Loa left Tahiti and brought with him 

 Te Arii Apa as a husband for Eleeleualani, his nwopitna (grandchild). From these 

 two was born Kohala (w), a girl, from whom the Kohala people sprang. 



Afterwards Hawaii Loa went again to Tahiti and Hawaii-ku-lalo (Sawaii) and 

 held a meeting with those peoples at Tarawao, but finding that they persisted in following 

 after the God Ku-waha-ilo and that they had become addicted to man-eating, he re- 

 proved and repudiated them, and passed a law called he Papa Enaena, forbidding any- 

 one from Hawaii-Luna (this present Hawaii) from ever going to the southern islands, 

 lest they should go astray in their religion and become man-eaters. 



When Hawaii Loa returned from this trip he brought with him Te Arii Tino Rua 

 (w) to be a wife to Ku-Nui-Akea, and they begat Ke Alii Maewa Lani, a son, who was 

 born at Holio in North Kona, Hawaii, and became the Kona progenitor. 



After this Hawaii Loa made a voyage to the westward, and Mulehu (Hoku Loa) 

 was his guiding star. He landed on the eastern shore of the land of the Lahui-maka- 

 lilio (the people with the turned up eyes oblique). He traveled over it to the northward 

 and to the westward to the land of Kuahewahewa-a-Kane, one of the continents that 

 God created, and thence he returned, by the way he had come, to Hawaii nei, bringing 

 with him some white men ( poc kcokco kanc) and married them to native women (a lioo- 

 inoc i koonci poc wahinc). On this return voyage the star lao was his guiding star 

 to Hawaii. 



After this Hawaii Loa made another voyage to the southern and eastern shore
