Kalihi in Honolulu is famous in legend as the home of Pele’s sister Kapo (HM 186), and of Haumea, Pele’s mother who is identified with Papa, the wife of Wākea. She had many adventures at Kalihi and saved her husband Wākea, who was being taken away for sacrifice, by embracing him. His bonds loosened and the two disappeared into a tree. Kaʻieʻie was a heiau here for her worship.
