Description
Kapōʻulakīnaʻu is a god commonly associated with supernatural power. She is often called Kapō. Haumea is her mother and she is a sister to Pele. In the story of ᾱʻ첹첹DZDZ, Kapōʻulakīnaʻu is visted by ᾱʻ첹첹DZDZ in Wailuku, Maui. In another story, Kapōʻulakīnaʻu throws her vagina in order to save Pele from Kamapuaʻa’s pursuit. He leaves Pele to seek out the vagina of Kapōʻulakīnaʻu, and that place today is called Kohelepelepe. Halapepe is one of her bodily forms and is a plant placed on the hula altar by hula practitioners.
