Description
ʴDZʻ is a Hawaiian goddes who lives on Maunakea. She is known for her blanket of snow that covers the mountain. It is said “ʴDZʻ, ka wahine ke kapa hau anu o Mauna Kea1,” for her natural form, snow, and her dwelling place, the highest peak on Hawaiʻi.
īīԴDZ, Waiau, and Kahoupokāne are her sisters that live with her on Maunakea.
There are many stories about her. In the story of Lāʻieikawai, she is romantically involved with the chief of Kauaʻi, ʻAiwohikūpua. ʻAiwohikūpua leaves ʴDZʻ for Hinaikamālama from Hāna because he also promised to marry Hinaikamālama. Because of her rage, ʴDZʻ unleashes the deep cold and the intense heat onto Hinaikamālama and ʻAiwohikūpua until they are forced to separate2. In a different story, there occurs a great sledding contest between ʴDZʻ and Pele which takes place at Laupāhoehoe3.
