This Archipelago, including the islands above, are Lehua, Kaula and Moku Papapa; there were other names for these islands during the time of Wakea, and during the 902 generations from Lailai. (Buke Mele Alii, mele of Kaumualii.*)

[This reminded me  of the new exhibit I hear is starting at the Bishop Museum which they are calling Journeys: Heritage of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. This mele is one of the many mele where traditional names of the islands in the great archipelago can be found!]

*The citation given most likely refers to He Inoa no Kaumualii which runs in Na Mele Aimoku, na Mele Kupuna, a me na Mele Ponoi o ka Moi Kalakaua I, p. 109–130.
