Mahina

Posted: Nov 11, 2010

In Hawaiian the moon is called Mahina, who was said to be the mother of Maui. Mahina was believed to live in a cave behind Rainbow Falls, on the Big Island. It is said that Mahina wanted some peace and quiet, so she climbed a rainbow into the heavens and took up residence on the moon, which now bears the same Hawaiian name as the goddess.
