Question

While taken captive, several chiefs legendarily swore an oath regarding one of these things after being tricked into thinking King Kukona was napping. To aid in traveling between these things at night, strings of candlenuts were used as beacons by a race of dwarf-like people called the Menehune. After being ridiculed by his brothers, one mythical character creates these things with the help of his mother's sacred ʻAlae (10[1])birds. In one story, these things were created during a fierce fight between Namaka and her hot-tempered sister. Spiteful (10[1])affairs (10[2])held by Papa and Wākea provide (10[1])the traditional origin story for (10[1])these things, (10[1])though their creation (10[1])is more commonly attributed to Hina's son Maui fishing them up from the ocean floor with his magic hook. For 10 points, name these geographic features whose six main ones include Lāna'i and O'ahu. ■END■
