One time Umi-a-Liloa went to Hilo. He did not mingle with the chiefs of that place, nor did they know him in person, but had simply heard that the government of Hakau was in the possession of Umi; therefore Umi and his adopted companions went to Hilo. Kulukulua was the king and Umi had gone there for a visit. Upon arrival at Hilo they stayed there and visited the royal abodes of that place. These men were particularly attractive from their fine youthful physique, therefore Umi-a-Liloa was married to the daughter of Kulukulua, king of Hilo. When Umi was living with the daughter of Kulukulua he noticed that she had on a royal necklace, an imitation ivory necklace made of wiliwili, [175] braided with jet-black hair securely tied together. One night there was a grand entertainment for all the chiefs of Hilo at Kanukuokamanu, in Waiakea; there was dancing and games of papuhene, kilu and loku. [176] Umi noticed that the daughter of Kulukulua was adorned with bird feathers on her body and on her head, and on her neck was a wiliwili ornament necklace. At the close of the chief’s entertainment, after they had gone home, Umi asked his wife, the daughter of Kulukulua, for the necklace, which she let him have. Umi asked her: “Is this your necklace of royalty?” “Yes,” answered the woman; “yes, that is our royal necklace, which is not commonly used by the people.” “Those things are plentiful and common with the children of our place, and owned by many, from young people to old women. The necklace of our chiefs is of ivory, made of whale’s teeth: that is the royal necklace and securely tied with cords of hair.” And, saying this, Umi then broke the wiliwili necklace of the daughter of Kulukulua.
