The Kumulipo creation myth states that a god, half hog, was born in the fifth era. This may have been the foundation for the story of this fabulous creature, Kamapuaa, whose exploits led him to nearly all parts of the group, thereby becoming interwoven in many legends and local traditions of the islands. Fornander traces the tradition of this celebrity to the migratory period of the race, at about the eleventh century. Among those who arrived from “Kahiki” were the brothers Kahikiula and Olopana, who settled at Koolau, Oahu, where Olopana took Hina, the daughter of Aumu, to wife. Kamapuaa was the son of Hina by Kahikiula, and shows windward Oahu to have been his birthplace. At the end of a long life of marvelous exploits he is said to have departed for Kahiki. ↑
