Kane: “I hana au inei lepo la; Hiki au e ola!”
Ku and Lono: (respond) “Ola!”
The image then rose and knelt before the gods and they called his name Honua-ula (Red Earth)—his body was made of red earth (lepo ula) and spittle (wai-nao), and his head was made of the clay (palolo) brought from the four ends of the earth. Another name for him was Ke Lii-Ku-Honua.
After creation this man Honuaula, was given a place to live in, called in olden time Kalana i Hauola, in later times it was called Pali-uli. So runs the legend of Kumu-Honua, and he dwelt alone at first without a wife.
The gods seeing the man without a wife, descended on earth, put him into a sleep, took out one of his ribs (lalo puhaka) and made it into a woman. They then awakened the man who found the woman on his right side, and she was called Ke Ola Ku Honua.
There are many legends about this first man, Kumu Honua. According to some, Kanaloa, who seems to have been an evil spirit (akua ino). “Ke kupu ino” interfered with Kane when creating the first man, and Kanaloa started to make a man of his own. When the earth was ready and shaped, Kanaloa called it to become alive, but [[268]]no life came to it. Then he became very angry and said: “I will take your man and he shall die;” and so it happened; and hence the first man got another name, Kumu-Uli—which means a fallen chief (he ’lii kahuli).
The land of Kalana i Hauola was situated in Kahiki-Honua-Kele; by other traditions 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)—“i ka lewa i o 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 evil 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 prevail but were thrust out and driven by Kane “i lalo lilo loa i ka po” (down into the uttermost darkness) 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.
When 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 spit out (i kuha ia) by the gods.
