Though Pele is better known today, Hina was arguably Hawaii's most important goddess, central to Hawaiian cosmology.
Hina (sometimes called Haumea) is the female form of the god Ku; she the "leaning down" goddess of the afternoon, he the "rising up" god of morning. Hina took many forms both on land and below the sea.
The moon story, which has many versions, has Hina exhausted from earthly work, leaping into the heavens pursued by her husband and eventually settling in the moon, where she can be seen today.
