Nu'u
In
Hawaiian mythology
,
Nu'u
was
a man
who built an
ark
with which he
escaped
a
Great Flood
. He
landed
his
vessel
on top
of
Mauna Kea
on
the Big Island
. Nu'u mistakenly attributed his
safety
to
the moon
, and made
sacrifices
to it.
Kāne
, the
creator god
,
descended
to
earth
on a
rainbow
and
explained
Nu'u's
mistake
.
