Sina The Dolphin Goddess

Sina, daughter of God Tangaloa was being transported in a giant kalia sailing canoe when the navigator, Liava'a notice she was missing and not on board. He ordered all the people on the canoe overboard to find her.
Her father Tangaloa turned these people into the first pele (dolphins) and their job was to find her. Before they could find her Sina was said to have rescued by an eel. When the dolphins rescued her Sina insisted that her friend and lover the eel also secretly came with her.
When the people in the island found the eel in her bathing pool they killed it. And Sina was very upset and mourned his death. But the eel requested that if he be killed she should bury his head in the soil and when it was done it became the coconut tree. The coconut fruit is the head of the eel with his eyes and mouth clearly visible in the shell.
Sina was also known as Pele the Goddess of Beauty because dolphin in Tongan and Polynesian metaphorically means beauty. She was also known as the Goddess of Fire because everywhere she went seems to accompany volcanic eruptions.
Sina or Hina means white, she was also known as the "White Dolphin" which appearance of is said to be associated with tsunamis.
