This weeks god or goddess is:
Haumea
She was daughter to Papa (a fertility goddess) and mother to Pele
(female-volcanoes) and Hi'aika (dance-specifically the hula).
Besides teaching human women how to give birth properly she was considered a
very wise woman, and very brave. She rescued her husband from kidnappers and
to escapes them leaps (with her husband) into a ulu tree (breadfruit). When
the kidnappers try to capture them by cutting into the tree with their
machetes the splinters of wood and poisonous sap from the tree kill the axemen.
To appease Haumea they carve the tree into a shape of goddess whom Haumea
calls Kamehaikana.
Another set of stories involve her magic stick (wand) made from an ulu tree.
The wand could create fruit on the tree, or fish. One day she was startled by
one of her daughters and as she turns around to rebuke her daughter Haumea
twisted her wrist so that the fish she was invoking were scattered into the
surrounding waters so that is why Hawaii has so many fish in its waters.
