Ku (male or husband), and Hina (female or wife) were the rulers of the ancient people and are the earliest gods. They are great ancestral gods of earth and heaven who have general control over the bounty of earth and generations of mankind.

Hina represents the West, or the sun setting, which indicates evening. Hina means "leaning down."

Hina is also referred to as the Earth mother and as the sister of Ku or created out of the side of Ku (possibly a blend of Christian belief).
