Haumea and Papahānaumoku are notable mothers in Hawaiian legends and mythology. Papahānaumoku (or Earth Mother), who is often called simply Papa, is the creation goddess who gave birth to the islands, and she is the wife of Wakea (Sky Father).
Haumea is the goddess of fertility and childbirth and it is said that she gave humans the ability to give birth naturally. She known for being the mother of many Hawaiian deities including Pele, Hi'iaka, and Kāmohoaliʻi.

In ancient times, Pu'uhonua, or City of Refuge was a place one could go to in the event they broke kapu law. Hawaiian society was ruled by laws called kānāwai, which dictated social order. Certain places, people, even some foods were considered kapu or forbidden. If one broke such laws, punishment was often death since breaking kapu would throw off the society's stability. As soon as a fugitive steps foot within the Pu'uhonua, they are allowed to seek refuge and be forgiven. In times of warfare, families could also seek refuge, and be allowed to return home without strife coming to them. There were several Pu'uhonua around Hawai'i, but Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau on Hawai'i Island is most the most well-preserved!

Kamapua'a is a demi-god who takes on the shape of a hog. His name translates to "hog-child". He is most well-known for his turbulent love affair with Madame Pele (yes, that Madame Pele).
In one story, Kamapua'a makes his way towards Pele's home after hearing about how she had travelled and made her home in Halema'uma'u crater. He chants to her, trying to get her attention, and she shows no interest. He persists, and she insults him, angering him, and they chant at each other insulting one another, which turns into a raging battle. The battle subsides when Kamapua'a calls upon his sister Keliʻiomakahanaloa to bring rain and fog to put out the fires Pele tried to start. He also swallows her and her family's home whole until he has a moment of compassion and lets them free. Pele sends down more lava flows, and Kamapua'a manifests into his kino lau (elemental form), the 'ama'u fern.
The battle rages for a while without much of an end, much like their love affair.
It's Aloha Friday, so why not have an nice breakfast!

Obviously something with eggs is recommended (Veggie Omlette anyone?), but they also have other breakfast items like pancakes and waffles!

Our Hawaiian Super Man Maui not only fished up the eight Hawaiian Islands, he also captured the sun and made it slow down its journey across the sky.
Long ago, the sun would race across the sky, there was never enough time in a day to get things done! One day, Maui heard his mother Hina crying because she would make her kapa cloth, and it would never have enough time to dry in the sun (kapa cloth is a bark cloth made from the paper mulberry or wauke tree). Maui decided he would slow the sun down, so he studied the sun and learned its route, and found it would come up the eastern side of Haleakalā (which means "house of the sun"!). He took with him strong cords and an adze, and his grandmother tells him how to capture the sun.
Maui hid behind a tree, and waited for the sun to appear, and as the sun began appearing, he lassoed each of the sun's legs. The sun realized what was happening and tried to escape back down the mountain, but Maui tied the cords around the tree he had been hiding near and demands the sun slow down so that his mother would be able to dry her kapa cloth. When the sun refused at first, Maui smacks the sun's legs with his adze until it agrees and promises to slow down.
