Hi'iaka
In
Hawaiian mythology, Hiiaka is a daughter of
Haumea and
Kāne. She was the patron goddess of
Hawaii and the
hula dancers, and lived in a
sacred grove where she spent her days dancing with the forest spirits. She is also called Hiiaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele literally meaning "Cradled in the bosom of Pele". Hiiaka was conceived in
Tahiti, but carried in the form of an egg to Hawaii by
Pele, who kept the egg with her at all times to incubate it. Hiiaka is Pele's most favorite and loyal sister, although they have also had their differences.
