	Wakea
		His wife Papa gave birth to a calabash, out of which Wakea fashioned the vault of the sky.
		A different version of this myth relates that Papa was a giant bird who laid an egg which opened and became the island of Hawaii.
		Soon, green trees grew there and Wakea and Papa went to live there themselves, as the first human beings.

	Hawaiian Mythology: Part Three. The Chiefs: XX. Papa and Wakea
		In the South Seas, Wakea or his equivalent is god of light and of the heavens who "opens the door of the sun"; Papa is a goddess of earth and the underworld and mother of gods.
		Ho‘ohoku-o-ka-lani's first child by her father Wakea is born in the form not of a human being but of a root, and is thrown away (kiola) at the east corner of the house.
		Kamakau states that "the children of Wakea, up to the time of the disappearance of Haumea, lived between Halawa and Waikiki and for the most part in the uplands and valleys." The land called Lalo-waia (and hence the name of Wakea's son Waia) was a fertile land.

	Taro: Hawaii's Roots
		Wakea was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and strong arms from hours at surfing.
		When Wakea walked up behind Papa to press his nose against her neck, instead of "Let us enjoy this flower before it wilts," Papa was as likely to say "The baby is hungry.
		Wakea buried Haloa-naka at the East corner of the house.

	Hawai'iloa and the Discovery of Hawai'i
		Wakea was a wicked and bad man. He instituted the bad and oppressive kapu, such as that men and women could not eat together; that women could not eat red fish, hogs, fowl or other birds, and some kinds of bananas.
		Wakea also departed from the ancient worship and introduced idol worship, and many people followed him, because they were afraid of him.
		This state of things was considerably altered by Wakea, his priest and successors, yet even so late as the time of Kanipahu, who refused the government, it is evident that the royal authority was not well settled in the olden times (‘aole he ano nui o na ali‘i i ka wa kahiko loa ‘ku)” (281).

	Papa and Wakea
		In the genealogy of the fourteenth section, certainly, Wakea is rather fully represented, but here again his story stands at the close rather than the beginning of the genealogical listing with which the chant opens.
		This breaks off at line 1840 with the birth of Wakea under the name of Pau-pani-a[wa]kea, "End-of-the-shutting-out-of-light." Hawaiians call midday Awakea and the eulogistic title may herald the light of the midday sun when no shadow is cast and a magician's power is greatest.
		Next Hina-kawe'o-a "craves food," and Wakea sets up a row of images (ki'i), conceals himself in one of them, and from this union is born the same "cock on the back of Wakea" whose birth so radically upsets the established social order at the close of the eleventh section.

	XI. The Chief With the Wonderful Servants
		The man said, "I can see the lands of Wakea and Papa and they are larger and fairer than these fine places of yours." Then they decided to go together to find that wonderful land of the gods.
		The report of the coming of these strangers was quickly sent to the chiefess who ruled the land under Wakea and Papa.
		One belongs to our high chief, Wakea; one to his wife, Papa; and one is mine.

	Kaula Island
		It runs as follows: After giving birth to Hawaii and Maui, Papa (the earth-mother) left her husband Wakea (the sky-father) and went back to Tahiti.
		After a short time wifeless, Wakea took to himself Kaulawahine, who as a result gave birth to Lanai.
		Returning quickly to Hawaii and learning what he had been doing, Papa deserted Wakea in a fury, and took Lua for a husband.

	The Wai'anae Diet Program - Michael Traub N.D. - HealthWorld Online
		Health is seen as not related only to diet, but to physical activity, positive attitude and visualization, harmonious relationships with others and all things, and a faith in a power beyond oneself, connected to by a breath meditation..
		In Hawaiian mythology, all things came to be through the mating of Papa and Wakea., and were connected by mana (life force).
		However, because of the great love of Papa and Wakea, the child had great mana, and when he was buried the taro grew out of his body and spread throughout Hawai'i.

	Mauna a Wakea

		Hawai’i was also the first child of Papa and Wakea as stated in "Mele a Paku’i":

	Mauna Kea
		It doesn't belong to you, it doesn't belong to me. It belongs to Wakea.
		Our first thought should be the mountain and to Wakea.
		And so, in our shame, we turn away knowing that that is a hewa, that is not supposed to be there.
