Description<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kap\u014d\u02bbulak\u012bna\u02bbu is a god commonly associated with supernatural power. She is often called Kap\u014d. Haumea is her mother and she is a sister to Pele. In the story of Hi\u02bbiakaikapoliopele, Kap\u014d\u02bbulak\u012bna\u02bbu is visted by Hi\u02bbiakaikapoliopele in Wailuku, Maui. In another story, Kap\u014d\u02bbulak\u012bna\u02bbu throws her vagina in order to save Pele from Kamapua\u02bba\u2019s pursuit. He leaves Pele to seek out the vagina of Kap\u014d\u02bbulak\u012bna\u02bbu, and that place today is called Kohelepelepe. Halapepe is one of her bodily forms and is a plant placed on the hula altar by hula practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
