ane-hoa-lani, Kupule, and other names. The legend adds that by
command of his god he was the first to introduce circumcision to be
practised among his descendants. He left his native home and moved a
long way off until he reached a land called Honua-ilalo, 'the southern
country.' Hence he got the name Lalo-kona, and his wife was called
Honua-po-ilalo. He was the father of Ku-nawao by his slave-woman Ahu
(O-ahu) and of Kalani-menehune by his wife, Mee-hewa. Another says
that the god Kane ordered Lua-nuu to go up on a mountain and perform
a sacrifice there. Lua-nuu looked among the mountains of Kahiki-ku,
but none of them appeared suitable for the purpose. Then Lua-nuu
inquired of God where he might find a proper place. God replied to
him: 'Go travel to the eastward, and where you find a sharp-peaked
hill projecting precipitously into the ocean, that is the hill for
the sacrifice.' Then Lua-nuu and his son, Kupulu-pulu-a-Nuu, and his
servant, Pili-lua-nuu, started off in their boat to the eastward. In
remembrance of this event the Hawaiians called the back of Kualoa
_Koo-lau_; Oahu (after one of Lua-nuu's names), _Kane-hoa-lani_;
and the smaller hills in front of it were named _Kupu-pulu_ and
_Pili-lua-nuu_. Lua-nuu is the tenth descendant from Nuu by both the
oldest and the youngest of Nuu's sons. This oldest son is represented
to have been the progenitor of the _Kanaka-maoli_, the people living
on the mainland of Kane (_Aina kumupuaa a Kane_): the youngest was the
progenitor of the white people (_ka poe keo keo maoli_). This Lua-nuu
(like Abraham, the tenth from Noah, also like Abraham), through his
grandson, Kini-lau-a-mano, became the ancestor of the twelve children
of the latter, and the original founder of the Menehune people,
from whom this legend makes the Polynesian family descend."

The Rev. Sheldon Dibble, in his history of the Sandwich Islands,
published at Lahainaluna, in 1843, gives a tradition which very
much resembles the history of Joseph. "Waikelenuiaiku was one of ten
brethren who had one sister. They were all the children of one father,
whose name was Waiku. Waikelenuiaiku was much beloved by his father,
but his brethren hated him. On account of their hatred they carried him
and cast him into a pit belonging to Holonaeole. The oldest brother
had pity on him, and gave charge to Holonaeole to take good care of
him. Waikelenuiaiku escaped and fled to a country over which reigned a
king whose name was Kamo
