Legend tells of 5 beautiful kupua who came to Ni'ihau from Kahiki. Their names were Hikina a-ka-la, Kuli-moku, Haka-lele-a-poni, Ka-lama and Na-ulu-hua-i-ka-hapapa . As was the custom of all people from kahiki who ventured to new lands, these kupua could not stay long in Hawai'i- they were required to return to Kahiki before the sun rose, or at least to hide during the daylight hours. But these girls were having such a grand time frolicking on the southern part of the isle that they failed to notice that dawn was breaking. The sun rose, and the penalty for their disobedience was harsh; they were turned into ulu, or breadfruit trees. Only these five ulu trees have grown on Ni'ihau; no others have ever been planted or grown. Tutu Kaui said that one of the trees bled blood-red sap when cut or damaged; she was called Kuli-moku. Only one of these trees remain today- Nauluhuaikahapapa.
