Kāne Milohaʻi

{{Short description|Minor Hawaiian god}}

{{distinguish|Kāne}}

In Hawaiian mythology, {{lang|haw|Kāne-milo-hai|italic=no}} is the brother of Kāmohoaliʻi, {{lang|haw|Pele|italic=no}}, {{lang|haw|Kapo|italic=no}}, {{lang|haw|Nāmaka|italic=no}} and {{lang|haw|Hiʻiaka|italic=no}} (among others) by {{lang|haw|Haumea|italic=no}}.

He is a figure most prominently in the story of {{lang|haw|Pele|italic=no}}'s journey along the island chain to {{lang|haw|Hawai{{okina}}i|italic=no}}, and may be seen as a terrestrial counterpart to his brother, the shark-god Kāmohoaliʻi.

The word {{lang|haw|kāne}} alone means "man", and {{lang|haw|Kāne|italic=no}} is one of the four major Hawaiian deities along with {{lang|haw|Kanaloa|italic=no}}, {{lang|haw|Kū|italic=no}}, and {{lang|haw|Lono|italic=no}}. As a result, {{lang|haw|Kāne-milo-hai|italic=no}} is occasionally confused with the latter.{{cite web|author= |url=https://www.scribd.com/doc/2580269/polynesian-mythology-hawaii |title=Polynesian Mythology — Hawaiʻi |publisher=Scribd.com |date=2009-02-24 |accessdate=2016-10-08}}{{self-published source |date=January 2019 }}{{Self-published inline |date=January 2019 }}
