Liloa

“Liloa was a ruling chief, a sacred high chief….He
kept the peace in his kingdom and his people
contented and prosperous…The chief said, ‘This is
my command: when our child is born if it be a girl,
name her for your side of the family; if it be a boy,

Liloa, and these are the tokens for the child when
he grows up and seeks me in Waipi‘o: the feather
cape, ivory pendant, helmet and kauila spear’….”
