“The ends of the earth and of heaven were created (hanau ia) by Kumukanikekaa (w) and her husband Paialani.
“Others say that Kamaieli (w) whose other name was Haloihoilalo, begat the foundation of the earth, and that Kumuhonua was her husband.
“In the mookuauhau of Kumulipo it is said that the earth and the heaven grew up of themselves (ulu wale).
“In the mookuauhau of Wakea it is said that his wife Papa begat a calabash (ipu)—the bowl and the cover—Wakea threw the cover upward and it became the heaven; from the inside meat and seeds Wakea made the sun, moon, stars and sky; from the juice he made the land and the sea.
“In the moolelo of Moi, the prophet of Keoloewa-a-kamau, of Molokai; in the prophecies and sayings of Nuakea, the prophetess of Luhaukapawa, Kapewaiku, Kapewalani, [[323]]of Kauai; of Maihea and Naulu-a-Maihea, the prophet race of Oahu in the time of Lonohoonewa (the father of Paumakua); of Luahoomoe, the prophet of Hua of Maui—in all these prophecies—it is said that the gods (na akua) created heaven and earth. The gods who created heaven and earth were three, Kane, Ku, and Lono. Kanaloa was the great enemy of these three gods. Before this creation of heaven, earth, etc., everything was shaky, trembling and destitute, bare, (naka, olohelohe); nothing could be distinguished, everything was tossing about, and the spirits of the gods were fixed to no bodies, only the three above gods had power to create heaven and earth. Of these three Kane was the greatest in power, and Ku and Lono were inferior to him. The powers of the three joined together were sufficient to create and fix heaven and earth.
“Their creation commenced on the 26th day of the month, on the day called Kane and was continued during the days called Lono, Mauli, Muku, Hilo and Hoaka.
“In six days the creation was done and the seventh day, the day called Ku, became the first kapu day (la kapu), day of rest. The first and the last of the seven days in every month have been kept kapu ever since by all generations of Hawaiians.” (Mookuauhau o Puanue. Au Okoa Oct. 14, 1869.)
