Legends of Halai and the Imu of Hina Keahi
A Hawaiian legend from Halai and Pau Honu chronicles two sisters, Hina Keahi fire goddess and Hina Kuluua rain goddess. Jealousy leads to rival famines and a fatal trial by fire, an imu, and divine deliverance, with the fires and rain symbolizing their powers. The tale ends with a chant still sung by Hawaiians.
