“Wakea in his old age retired to Hawaii and lived at
Waipio, and at his death he descended to the
‘Island-bearing land’ (Papa-hanau-moku) beneath the
earth and founded a kingdom there. Milu succeeded him
as chief of Waipio and after Milu’s death, due to disregard
of the tapu set upon him by the god, Milu became
associated with Wakea in the rule of the underworld.”
