Nalu Manamana was the ancestor of the breed of negroes, who were also called the breed of Kana, “Ka welo a Kana.”
Lua Nuu was the ancestor, by his eldest son of the Nawao people, and by his youngest son (Kupulupulu) of the Menehune people. [[271]]
The Nawao people were called by the Hawaiians Ka Lahui Mu Ai Maia o Laau Haeleele. They were a people of large size, wild, and did not associate with the kanakas, they were a hunting people (lahui alualu holoholona). They were numerous in former times, but now they have disappeared.
The Menehunes were a numerous and powerful race, the ancestors of the present Hawaiian people.
This is the legend of Kane Hoa Lani Lua Nuu: Kane (the god) ordered Lua Nuu to go up on a mountain and perform a sacrifice there. Lua Nuu looked among the mountains of Kahikiku, but none of them appeared suitable for that purpose. Then Lua Nuu inquired of God where he might find a proper place, and God replied to him: “Go, travel to the eastward and where you find a sharp-peaked hill projecting precipitously into the ocean, that is the hill for the sacrifice.” Then Lua Nuu and his son Kupulupulu-a-Nuu and his servant Pili Lua Nuu started off in their boat to the eastward; and in remembrance of the event the Hawaiians called the mountains back of Kualoa in Koolau, Oahu, after one of Lua Nuu’s names, Kane Hoalani, and the smaller hills in front of it were named after Kupulupulu and Pili Lua Nuu.
