Yes, though it qualifies as a religious belief . . not legend or folklore.
The religious belief attached to Kilauea centers on Pele, a goddess brought to the islands in about the 13th century by people from Tahiti. She has dominion over all of the islands and her greatest power is seen manifested at the active volcano Kilauea.
Sincerely,
