Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poli\u02bbahu is a Hawaiian goddes who lives on Maunakea. She is known for her blanket of snow that covers the mountain. It is said \u201cPoli\u02bbahu, ka wahine ke kapa hau anu o Mauna Kea1<\/sup>,\u201d for her natural form, snow, and her dwelling place, the highest peak on Hawai\u02bbi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u012bl\u012bnoe, Waiau, and Kahoupok\u0101ne are her sisters that live with her on Maunakea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many stories about her. In the story of L\u0101\u02bbieikawai, she is romantically involved with the chief of Kaua\u02bbi, \u02bbAiwohik\u016bpua. \u02bbAiwohik\u016bpua leaves Poli\u02bbahu for Hinaikam\u0101lama from H\u0101na because he also promised to marry Hinaikam\u0101lama. Because of her rage, Poli\u02bbahu unleashes the deep cold and the intense heat onto Hinaikam\u0101lama and \u02bbAiwohik\u016bpua until they are forced to separate2<\/sup>. In a different story, there occurs a great sledding contest between Poli\u02bbahu and Pele which takes place at Laup\u0101hoehoe3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
