The Kumulipo is not, however, the only story of origins relevant to the people of Hā‘ena. Hā‘ena is a land richly inlaid with ancestral memories reaching beyond the borders of historic time and Western logic. Diverse traditions exist speaking of origins for those who are rooted deeply in Hā‘ena. Most anthropological, archaeological, and historical accounts of Hawai‘i assume the first aboriginal people came as voyagers. Hawaiian oral traditions contain many accounts of long-distance voyages from various islands and archipelagoes lying far to the south.
Kumulipo records the appearance of the nonhuman inhabitants of the earth, beginning with the coral polyp. This diminutive builder of reefs was born in the shallow, warm ocean where sea, sky, and land met to supply the necessary ingredients for life.

Next conceived were a variety of paired beings, each sea inhabitant coupled with a land companion.

Ko‘o lau are situated on the windward side of the island, usually facing the Moa‘e, the prevailing northeasterly wind.
