Don't really know enough about Ewoks beyond the main movies, but quick google states they nature worshippers - which to me fits more in Pele's domain. Happy to be corrected.

All three groups in question Ewoks, Hawaiians, and the Irish of the era were nature worshippers.

The Ewoks are warrior hunters culture, who worship trees, and whose political and spiritual leadership is largely patriarchal. 

Cuchulain is a male warrior hunter prince from a culture that views trees as sacred. 

Pele turned somebody in to a tree as punishment. Such a thing would be viewed as a twisted abomination by the Ewoks who view themselves as children of the trees. 

So being turned into one would not be viewed as punishment, and anybody who thought of it as such would be viewed as crazy by the Ewoks. 

Infact in legends the Ewoks believed there dead became trees. 

Also in Legends Ewoks valued craftsman it was essentially a right of passage for young male Ewoks to build a family home. 

Cuchulain is an incarnation of his father Lugh who among other things is a god of craftsmen. 

In other words between Pele's view on trees, no connection to warriors or hunting, and sadly the fact that she is female. Is going to make her a hard fit for the Ewoks. 

Cuchulain on the other hand will be largely viewed as a kindred spirit. 

The icing on top is even Cuchulain's weapons. The spear, sling, etc have a very Ewoks flavor.
