that KaJauea was the scene where
ancient Islanders plighted troths In
death.
The volcano is not now in active

, There la no record of any other
deaths In Halemftumau, and whether
Hawaiian once offered human sac

tims Into the fire pit is a moot ques
tion. The fire goddess was unquestion
ably the most feared of all the
Island deities, and In olden times
none dared to approarii the pit with
out first making offerings of ohtlo
berries.
Halemaumau, commonly referred to
as the house of everlasting fire,
means "house of ferns," so named be
cause ferns were thrown into the cra
ter to appease Pele's wrath.
