In
Hawaiian mythology, Namaka (or Na-maka-o-Kahai, the eyes of Kahai) appears as a sea goddess or a water spirit in the Pele cycle. She is an older sister of
Pele-honua-mea. She is the daughter of Ku-waha-ilo and
Haumea, whose other children are Pele, the
Hiiaka sisters, the Kama brothers, and the bird Halulu. Aukelenuiaiku becomes her husband in Kahiki, then later the husband of Pele, and because of this Pele, the Hiiaka sisters, Malulani, and
Kaōhelo migrate to Hawaii. In Thrum's Kane-huna-moku myth she is called the chiefess of the Mu and
Menehune people when they are summoned to build the watercourse for Kikiaola at Waimea on Kauai (Beckwith 1970:193, 495).
