Wakea and Papa as here shown are the traditional creators of nearly all the islands of the Hawaiian group. Other legends refer to this pair as the progenitors of the Hawaiian race; also, that Wakea was the eldest of three sons of Kahiko, an ancestor of the people. From Wakea sprang the line of chiefs, while the second son, Lihau-ula, is stated as founding the priesthood. ↑
