Description
Mauanakea is the largest mountain on the island of Hawaiʻi. Maunakea is called “Ka Mauna a Kea” because in the genealogy of the mountain, Maunakea is the child of the deities Wākea and Papawalinuʻu. This is seen in the birth chant for the sovereign Kauikeaouli which was published in the year 1866 in Ka Nūpepa Kūʻokoa: “O hanau ka mauna a Kea/ Opuu ae ka mauna a Kea / O Wakea ke kane / O Papawalinuu ka wahine.” Maunakea is the home of many famous akua of Hawaiʻi, including Poliʻahu, Lilinoe, Waiau, and Kahoupokāne. There are many trails along the mauna areas due to the many people who traveled there including residents, chiefs, and visitors.
