no life came to it. Then he became very anory and said: "I will take your man and he 

 sliall die;" and so it happened; and hence the first man got another name, Kunui-Uli- 

 which means a fallen chief (he 'Hi kaliuli). 



The land of Kalana i Hauola was situated in Kahiki-Honua-Kele ; by other tradi- 

 tions it was in Mololani ; by others it was in Hawaii-nui-Kuauli-Kaioo, a large and long- 

 continent. 



Kane, Ku and Lono dwelt in the empty space — (this is another tradition) — "/ ka 

 Icwa i ia nei," and had no special resting place. They then created three heavens 

 and by special command fixed the stars and the lights therein. 



One tradition reports that Kanaloa was a generic name for a multitude of 

 e\il spirits, created by Kane, who opposed him or revolted from him because they were 

 denied the awa, which means that they were not permitted to be worshiped; awa being 

 a sacrificial offering and sign of worship. These evil spirits did not ])revail but were 

 thrust out and driven by Kane ";' lalo lilo loa i ka pa" { down into the uttermost dark- 

 ness) and the chief of these evil spirits was called Milu, meaning the king of death; 

 another name for him was Kanaloa, also Kanaloa o ka oa nu-kea nui a Kane. 



\Mien the heavens were made, then the earth was made. And then the Kanaloa 

 spirits were the first created by the gods. They were not made by hand like the first man, 

 but were si)it out (/ knha ia) by the gods. 



After Kumu Honua was created and placed uiwn his land, Kane conferred with 

 him and his wife and established laws for them, and the law was called "laait" (the tree). 

 The words of Kane are not fully reported in the legend ; but it was afterwards thought 

 that the tree was the breadfruit-tree (-itlit) and that it grew at Honokohau, in North 

 Kona, Hawaii; that it sprung from Kane (iia iiiiiiii ia c Kane) and that its fruits have 

 been bitter or sour from that day to this. And the icaitke was given to Kumu Honua for 

 clothing, and it was sacred to Kane and grew in Keaukaha, North Kona, Hawaii. 



Kanaloa seduced Kumu Honua's wife Polo-Haina ( Ke Ola Kiiiiiii Ifoniiaj and 

 she and lier husband Iiroke the laws of Kane. Kunni Honua was called Kane-Laa-uli 

 after he had broken the laws of Kane, which means, according to Hawaiian kahunas 

 (priests), "he aktia alia i ka laau." (the spirit who fell or was destroyed on account of 

 the tree). 



Following are the names of Kunui Honua and his wife after they fell from grace: 

 Pelo-Haena ( w )," Ulia-VVale (k), Laa-ai (w). Laa-hei (k), Laa-make (w), Laa-uli (k), 

 Kumu-llana (w), Kunni Uli (k). Kanikau (w), Kani Kuo (k). 



An "ait-apaapa" comprises twelve generations. All who spring from any branch 

 within these twelve are considered as relations. An "aii-apaapa" extended over two to 

 three centuries. 



An "an poipu" consisted of twenty-four generations. Any one at this distance 

 from the general ancestor, springing off from any branch, was not considered a rela- 

 tion. The marrying such distant branches was called "Iwao-lopa." An "aii-poipu" 

 extended oxer six or more centuries.
