Kanehekili

In Hawaiian mythology, Kanehekili is the brother Pele and Hiʻiaka (among others) by Haumea. He is the god of thunder.^[1]

He was born from the mouth of Haumea.^[1]

During thunderstorms followers of Kanehekili remain silent. Legend holds that two stones in a cave in Kahuku were once two boys who broke the silence during a storm.^[2]
