Hawaiian

Pele

The volcano goddess of Hawaii, who shapes new land from fire.

Pele is the goddess of volcanoes and fire in Hawaiian tradition, and is honoured as the one who makes new land. Her home is the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii island, and she is spoken of with great respect.

Namaka, her sea sister in many tellings, is a goddess of the ocean. Fire building land and water wearing it down is a very old way of describing how islands are made.
