Kamapua’a is named in honor of the Hawaiian Pig God, who was the protector of the pigs and cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii.
"Kauhale o Kamapua`a
Wehiwehi i ka nahele
Ka uhi pa`a ka noe
Me anuenue i ke awawa
Home of Kamapua`a
Adorned with growth
Covered with mist
With rainbows in the valley"
According to Hawaiian legend, Kamapua’a was born on the island of Oahu. Kamapua’a had superhuman powers and was often referred to as Pua’a Akua (Hog God). As a kupua (demigod) he could change at will from a handsome loveable man to a destructive hog.
Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess, and Kamapua’a were once lovers. Their romance didn’t last very long and soon turned into competitive battles, in which Kamapua’a unsuccessfully tried to extinguish Pele’s flame.
Many formations around the islands are considered evidence of the fierce battles between Pele and Kamapua’a. Eventually, Pele granted Kamapua’a to reign in the rainforests of Kohala, Hamakua and
Kamapua’a became protector of the pigs and the cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii.
Kamapua’a and his Pua’a (Pig) are Hunters of Aloha, caretakers of the forest and the Menehune’s guardians. Together they walk fearlessly through the beautiful Kaiholena Mountains watching for dangers and threats to their beloved Ohana (family).
Kamapua’a carrying his lei o mano (shark’s lei club), and Pua’a with his tusks are always ready to protect their loved ones and shield them in a safe cloud of Aloha.
Pua’a is Kamapua’as Aumakua (Guardian Spirit). They are so closely connected that they have become inseparable friends.
Kamapua’a carved his lei o mano out of Koa wood and surrounded it with shark teeth. Only Gods and the Ali’i are allowed to use the lei o mano.
After Kamapua’a finished his lei o mano, he blessed it with a prayer and salt water from the Pacific Ocean for purification and protection.
Kamapua’a and Pua’a were individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.
