Maui (the demi-god) , son of Kalana, was one of the ancient chiefs of Maui who made roads twenty centuries ago. The roads in his day were straight and the people were accustomed to running along straight roads ; so when certain persons ran after him, he made the road go zigzag and it was called « ke ala nui kikeekee a Maui », the zigzag road of Maui.
