In Hawaiian mythology, Laieikawai and her twin sister Laielohelohe were princesses, and were born in Laie, Oahu. They were seprarated and hidden away from their chiefly father who had all his daughters killed at birth, because he wanted a first born son. Laieikawai was hidden in a cave which was only accessed by diving in pool of water named Waiapuka. Soon it was well known that someone of royalty resided nearby because of the tell-tale rainbow that graced the sky above her cave dwelling.
