The Story of Two Sisters

Overview

This will talk about the story of Pele & Namakaokahai. Two sisters fight both from opposite worlds. One sister's world was one of fire; the other, of water.

Nāmakaokaha'i had her husband, Aukelenuiaiku come home one day, and she figured out that he was cheating on her. She took her anger out on her sisters Pele and Hi'iaka. They moved to a different place, but Nāmakaokaha'i found them, so they found themselves moving to Kaua'i, in a place east of Mana. When they settled, they started a fire whose glare was seen from the high peaks in the land of Numealani, where Nāmakaokaha'i was stationed on the look out for her. They fought and Pele and Hi'iaka went to O'ahu, but found the land to be too shallow, and moved to Moloka'i down at Kalaupapa. They dug a hole and was disappointed when they struck water; the hole now is now called Kauhako. The journeyed to Haleakala in Maui. There are rocks on Hanakaieie at Kahikinui are the rocks dug up by Pele and Hi'iaka. When they were still in Maui they started a fire where Nāmakaokaha'i saw them and fought with Pele again where she killed Pele with the reluctant help of their brother, kāmohoali'i.

Like most sisters, the two are opposites.Pele rules over the fiery volcanoes of Hawaii Island, the other over the cool, majestic waves of the ocean.

Namakaokahai was married to a mighty sorcerer, Aukelenuiaiku. When she met him, she was impressed by his warrior spirit, showed him all her forms and taught him her magical powers. Then he betrayed her.

She was the reason why Pele got to travel around the islands of Hawai'i.

Pele travels throughout the islands, appearing to mankind as a beautiful young woman, or as an old woman, sometimes accompanied by a white dog.

She fought with her elder sister Nāmakaokaha‘i, the water goddess.

Pele’s oldest brother, Kamohoali‘i, the king of the sharks, gave her a canoe name Honauaiakea (the great expansive Earth) that she and several of her siblings paddled across the sea, all the while battling with Nāmakaokaha‘i. She traveled with her sister Hi'iaka as an egg form.
