While Madame Pele lives in Halema‘uma‘u and presently is strolling through Pahoa, she has traveled to all the Hawaiian Islands — battling with siblings and lovers — in the many legends about this famous immortal. In those stories, she first reached Hawaii shores in human form, bringing with her many members of her magical family … whom, like herself, we can still find living in the islands today.

Kama‘aina historian Boyd D. Bond tells these tales of our fiery neighbor to the south.
