Hawaiian creation myths

by Daphne Elliot

 
In the midst of Chaos there was a great void. It was a time of deep darkness, before the memory of mankind.
Into this void came Kane, the god of creation. He picked up a giant calabash, threw it high into the air where it broke into two enormous pieces. The top piece was curved like a bowl, and became the Sky. The seeds scattered and became the stars. The remainder of the calabash fell downward, and became the Earth.
