In Hawaiian folklore, a triad of deities known as the Ku-Kaua-Kahi (AKA "Fundamental Supreme Unity") were said to have existed prior to and during Chaos ever since eternity, or put in Hawaiian terms, mai ka po mai, meaning "from the time of night, darkness, Chaos". They eventually broke the surrounding Po (night) and light entered the universe. Next the group created three heavens for dwelling areas together with the earth, Sun, Moon, stars and assistant spirits.[29]
