Kananaka was a mermaid who lived in the sea outside of Lahaina, Maui. This hula was usually taught to young girls beginning hula instructions. It is believed that when a lot of foam is near the shoreline or the mouth of a stream, the mermaid is present. If the mermaid was in the fish pond, the fish could not be caught for food. They would be bitter and not good to eat. The first verse reads:
The Ma'a'a wind blows
Bringing the scent
The fragrance of lipos
Pick (lipoa) until we have enough
