Hiʻiaka

When Hi‘iaka, Lohi‘au, and her companion began their return trip, the forty days allowed by Pele had passed. Most of Hi‘iaka’s chants during the homeward journey have a recurrent refrain of sorrow, for by now she had a vision of Pele’s treachery.

1989, Rita Knipe, The Water of Life: A Jungian Journey through Hawaiian Myth, University of Hawaii Press, page 146:

1989, Hi‘iaka, entry in Robert D. Craig, Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology, Bloomsbury Publishing, page 60,
Once there, Hi‘iaka learned that Lohi‘au had died out of grief for the woman (Pele) who had danced before him. Hi‘iaka was able to restore his spirit and life. Now they had [to] face the return voyage, and already the forty days had passed.

2015 [2008 M. E. Sharpe], Josepha Sherman, Storytelling: An Encyclopedia of Mythology and Folklore, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), unnumbered page,
Hi‘iaka and Pele had several sisters, all of whom shared the name Hi‘iaka followed by a different description. The other sisters always used their full names unless grouped together, as in "the Hi‘iaka sisters." Only Hi‘iaka-i-kapoli-’o-Pele individually shortened her name to Hi‘iaka.

Pele

Some versions of the Pele myth say that Pele was always fighting with her sister. To separate them, their father exiled Pele to Hawaii.

2012, Jim Ollhoff, South Pacific Mythology, ABDO Publishing Company, page 28:

Later the island was visited by Christian missionaries, and a number of Hawaiians converted to Christianity. Nevertheless, Pele was not forgotten, nor was worship of Pele discontinued. Pele remained a powerful goddess in the eyes of native Hawaiians because of her ongoing unpredictable eruptions that both created and destroyed. Even in modern times, Pele is a feature of Hawaii.
