Charlot, John (1998) "Pele and Hiiaka: the Hawaiian-language newspaper series" Anthropos, v. 93 (1998): 55-75. In this article, Charlot discusses the different Hawaiian-language versions of the story, and remarks that the one by William Hyde Rice is the one most clearly rooted in Kaua‘i tradition. Rice's version is said to focus more on events at Kaua‘i and local place names than the others.
