Geography/Culture: Polynesia: the Mangaia islands of the Cook group, Samoa and other islands.
Linguistic Note: Although Hina is the more familiar orthography for this Goddess, I have chosen the variant Ina since the initial H phone is far more frequent than the initial E phone.
Description: Magic weilding, most experienced Woman; She Who brought death to humanity; She Who is like a solitary tree; She Who committed Herself to the winds; The Lovely One; She Who enchants with Her music; She Who makes a sea-change; She Who can pass between the spirit world and the world of humanity; Lady-Famed-in-Story; High-born Maiden; She Who pursues Her rejected lover; She Who searches the sea for Her lover; She Who represents the adolescent longing for the attentions of a lover and the independence of marriage tinged with that fear of the unknown which such day-dreams involve; She Who attempted to drown Herself.
To Whom Sacred: seaweed; coconut (Tuna's buried head becomes the first coconut tree); barnacles; dove (in which form Her brother Rupe visited Her); shark (who bore Her on his back during Her search for Tinirau); Ina's bump (the lump on a shark's head, raised by Ina when She hit him with Her coconut); wooden drum (on which She makes Her music); water of life, (pool in which She was bathing when seduced by Tuna); (in Samoa) taupou, a high-born maiden kept in seclusion (whom She epitomises).
Male Associates: consort, Tinirau, Myriad, or Infinite (variants: Sinilau, Kinilau, Tinilau, or Timirau), Lord of the Ocean, Engulfer; seducer/lover: Tuna, Eel, the Shining One of-the-eternal-waters. In some versions, consort/father, Tiki.

• Variant: Hina, Lady, below.
• To the Maori She is known as Hina-Uri, ----.

Geography/Culture: Polynesia: throughout the Pacific Islands and Maori.
Linguistic Note: Because Hina (or another of the variants) is involved as the initial syllables of many Polynesian Goddess' names, I have concluded it signifies femaleness, as implied by the meaning 'fertile womb', but that it carries a significance closer to 'lady' than to 'woman', or perhaps closer to 'Goddess' than 'Lady'. I wonder if the Japanese title Hime, meaning 'Princess', is related etymologically.
