Hiʻiaka
In Hawaiian mythology, Hiʻiaka is a daughter of Haumea and Kāne.
==Attributes and history==
Hiiaka, or the youngest Hiiaka, was the patron goddess of Hawaii, hula dancers, chant, sorcery and medicine.〔The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, David Kalakaua, 1888.〕〔Myths and Legends of Hawaii, W.D. Westervelt, 2005.〕 Owls were her messengers and were sacred to her. Her common and family name means "Sunset lifting the shadows" - "Hi", lifting on the hip, and "Aka", meaning Shadow. Her family line is called Hiiaka, and they take on the task of bearing the clouds, providing rain, thunder and lightning variously, those of storms and those produced by Pele's volcanoes.〔Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes, William D Westervelt, 1916.〕 Hiiaka lived in a grove of Lehua trees which are sacred to her where she spent her days dancing with the forest spirits.
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. From this, she earned her full name, Hiiaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele: "Hiiaka in the bosom of Pele". Hiiaka is Pele's favorite and most loyal sister, although they have also had their differences. Hi'iaka was the first God of this pantheon (the Pele family) born in Hawaii.
In stories she often came to her big sister Pele's rescue. One such story involves both Pele and Hiiaka being chased by Pele's nemesis the fertility Pig God Kama-puaa (who Pele eventually turned into the fish, Humuhumunukunukuapuaa). In order to let them escape, Hiiaka detached her vagina and threw it down to distract him.
