SiteType: Na maka o Kana (legendary). Kana was an etherial creation of Kane, one of the three greater gods known to Hawaii. He lived most of the time on Oahu, and occupied a large mound near a hill named Kana's eyes. The hill resembled a skull, and required no imagination to see outlines of a human face.
