Here, in brief, is the tradition as it is preserved by the natives: LEGEND OF KELIIKUKU.
This high chief reigned in Puna.

He journeyed to the island of Oahu.

There he a prophet of Kauai, named Kaneakalau, who asked him who he was.

"I am," replied the chief, "Keliikuku of Puna." The prophet then asked him what sort of a country he possessed.

The chief said: "My country is charming; every thing is found there in abundance; everywhere are sandy plains which produce marvelously."-- "Alas!" replied the prophet, "go, return to your beautiful country; you will find it overthrown, abominable.
