HAUMEA
In Hawaiian mythology, 'Haumea' is a goddess of fertility and childbirth. With Kane Milohai, she is the mother of Pele, Kā-moho-ali'i, Namaka, Pere, Kapo and Hi'iaka. She was a powerful sorceress and gave birth to many creatures; some after turning herself into a young woman to marry her children and grandchildren. She was finally killed by Kaulu.
The Hawaiian goddess should not be confused with a Māori god also named Haumia or Haumia-tiketike, a god of wild plants and berries; he is the god of wild food, as opposed to (his brother) Rongo, the god of cultivated food.
