In Hawaiian mythology, Kanehekili is the brother of Pele and Hiʻiaka (among others) by Haumea. He is the god of thunder.[1]

He was born from the mouth of Haumea.[1]

During thunderstorms followers of Kanehekili remain silent. Legend holds that two stones in a cave in Kahuku were once two boys who broke the silence during a storm.[2]
