Observation of Unesco on this heritage is that, ‘This property is a unique example of significant island building through ongoing volcanic processes. It represents the most recent activity in the continuing process of the geologic origin and change of the Hawaiian Archipelago. The park contains significant parts of two of the world’s most active and best understood volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa. The volcano Mauna Loa, measured from the ocean floor, is the greatest volcanic mass on earth….’.

Halema’uma’u is a pit crater within the much larger summit caldera of Kilauea in this Volcanoes Park. Its syllables ; HARE–MA-Uma-MA-U are  wonderfully indicative of the original land from where these people came and settled around the volcanoes. Halema’uma’u is seat of worship of Pele, goddess of Fire and Volcanoes of Hawaiian people according to whom, Halema’uma’u means ‘house of  ‘uma’u fern’. ‘Hale’ or ‘Hare’ refers to Mt Hor or Hiranyavati river belt where Uma-vana or the forest, where Goddess Uma, wife of Hara, practised asceticism to get God Hara as her husband.

In the Hawaiian religious tradition, Pele is the goddess of volcanoes and fire and the creator of Hawaiian Islands. This goddess is often referred to as Mada Me Pele’ or ‘Tutu Pele’. Epithets of the goddess include Pele-honua-mea(‘Pele of the sacred land’) and Ka wahine’at honua(‘The earth-eating woman’). Goddess Pele is said to have been born from the female spirit Hanumea who descended from Papa, or Earth Mother, and Wakea, Sky Father.

Legend told that Pele herself journeyed on her canoe from the island of Tahiti to Hawaii. Her sister Namaka was accompanying with her who stopped her creating fire and volcanoes in different islands on their way to Hawaii. The most important feature associated with this goddess is ‘hula’ who is also called ‘goddess of hula’.

The first generation of ancient migrants knew the real and original meaning of different words of their homeland; gradually with time which made them engaged in finding foods and shelters made them to forget meanings of most of these words. Pele refers to ‘Pala’, means ‘thrashed paddy product’ used as animal-feed, and as materials for making thatched houses; its other important use is to hold fire. Pala was knotted and plaited tightly in such a manner that fire is borne with it for days together without getting distinguished. It does not make ashes quickly, It burns very slowly releasing slow smokes. This fire is called ‘hula’; its different meanings are seen in words like ‘huluhula’, and ‘hula-huli’; huluhula is a tantric goddess, and hulahuli is name of a sacred sound which women make out of twisting their tongues on sacred occasions. hula accompanies a dead body to the funeral ground.
