Hiʻiaka is also pele and nāmaka’s sister. Their brother is Kamohoaliʻi which is the shark god. Papa and Wākea gave birth to Hoʻohōkūkalani which means “the making of stars in the heavens” so she is the goddess of stars. She and Wākea had a child who wae stillborn which they named Hāloanakalaukapalili. They buried him at the eastern side of their house and from his burial came the first taro plant which us Hawaiians deem a very spiritual plant. They had a second son named Hāloa which became the first human. That’s why some people call the taro plant our older brother
Actually, Kū is really important as, you need to pray to him before fighting or you'll lose, and after the "Wā o Lono" whic fighting and labor are forbidden and after that, is the "Wā o Kū" which fighting is allowed. So Kū should be a five star.
I live on the big island and I’ve been raised here my whole life You should look into the Hawaiian Renaissance of the 1950s We are trying to start another one 🤙😜
This is decent for a general overview of Hawaiian religion, but there are a few concepts that might require a bit of extra nuance to fully grasp. Kahuna does not only refer to priests or religious figures in the strictly Western sense, but can refer to an expert or authority in any number of fields of knowledge (it could be considered roughly equivalent to the title of sensei in Japanese) and were considered a distinct group within the Hawaiian social caste system. These still usually took on some religious aspect though because of the all-encompassing nature of Hawaiian religious practices even if the field is not explicitly religious. For example, a kahuna lapaʻau is an expert in medicine, a kahuna kālai waʻa is an expert canoe carver, and a kahuna ʻanāʻanā is an expert in sorcery. Most akua usually had multiple forms that represented different or complementary aspects of their nature. For example, Kū is usually known as a war god worshipped through acts like human sacrifice, but this was only one form known as Kūkāʻilimoku (Kū the snatcher of islands). Other forms include Kūkaʻōʻō (Kū of the digging stick) who was invoked for certain types of agriculture. Lono is most commonly known as Lonoikamakahiki which represents fertility and peace, but another form was Lonomakaihe, who presided over the art of spear throwing and catching. All physical objects in the material world were considered to be kinolau, or a physical manifestation of a certain akua. This was particularly important for food under the kapu system as certain foods such as pork or coconuts were prohibited for women to eat or even prepare because they were the kinolau of certain akua and represented masculine aspects of their nature. This also applies to ʻaumākua, which are not the animals themselves, but may take on the form of certain animals as their kinolau.
Plus, "Nāmaka" is Pelehonuamea's (Pele) sister, but "Nāmaka" is not her name, as many people have made this mistake, so Nāmaka's name is "Nāmaka'okaha'i".
Fascinating! I know that the island people have their unique culture but it seems even more special now. Their Gods are very different from the Gods of European cultures(which I'm more used to) and it's great.The way that they've created it being isolated from the people living in the continent is incredible. And i find Papa(her full name is to hard to spell) the most adorable of them all :3 A big thanks to you for this video!I also like the way you've kept that card-game-like thing. Keep it going,I'm really looking forward for the next part of the series :^)
Thanks again! It's incredibly new to me as well, but I love it! I wanna take a little break and continue this series in the future, changing up the format just a little bit ;)
My family and I lived in Hawaii for many years growing up and my mother possess aumakua until this day. When I was maybe 7 years old my little brother got swept out by the current (this happened within seconds). They searched for a couple hours before my dad went to go get a boat to search for his body but my mom wasn't my mom any longer, she became something else as she sprinted down the beach for god knows how long.... She found him alive, disoriented but ALIVE as police officers greeted her they jumped back and said AUMAKUA! Still now when they go back elders will come up and greet her as amakua.
I had a Polynesian family go against me spiritually. They made their ancestors EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! I charged them to now block them from my energy in constant HAKA!
I’m from Hawaii. I ran into Kama’pu’a’a, the pig deity, while hog hunting on Maui. The creature’s many eyes and humanoid shape was shocking. It could have just been a dude in a costume, but I don’t think so. That would be a dumb idea in a hunting area, to dress up like a pig. Maybe I was even hallucinating or my mind was playing tricks on me, but I don’t think so. No joke I was scared out of my mind and I have not hunted wild hogs nor even eaten pork since then. *Also, this guy’s Hawaiian language pronunciation is better than many people whom actually live in Hawaii, no joke, and the word “Hawaii” directly translates to English as “little paradise” and was the original word spoken to Capt Cook when he asked the locals the name of their land. Cook merely misinterpreted the word as “oowhyhee”.
Tangaroa, Tawhirimatea, Rongo, Tūmatauenga, Whiro, Ruaumoko, Tāne Mahuta, Haumie Tiki Tiki, Tama-Nui-Te-Ra, Hine Marama, Hine Nui Te Po, Papatuanuku, Rangi Nui, Hine Titama, Hineahuone, HineTapeka, Mahuika, Uru Te Ngangana, Rehua, Uenuku, Aitupawa....the list goes on Arohamai but we here in Te ika a maui are far from only having one God, and of course our one and only master creator "Io"
so... I'm actually here trying to figure out a "dream" about an extremely malign red and blue entity that looked a lot like a tiki face floating an a huge black void. It's eyes and mouth emitted white and the malice it put off was absolutely paralyzing. If anyone sees this and has any leads, plz let me know.
I don't know if I should make a whole video on him, especially since I didn't know about him before your comment ;) But seems really interesting, thanks for bringing it to my attention!
@@Artreii OMG man.. Menehune is not a "him". They are the first humans and the original Hawaiians. This is why white folks should stop trying to teach a history about a people they have not actually been taught by. And you literally mispronounced almost every Hawaiian word. It is disrespectful man. Glad you care enough to do a video but if you are gonna do it then do it with respect please.
Woah many similarities with Vedic Mithology well they called like this because the amounts of time is hard to get for our fake history so everything is tagged like mithological 🙄but they are real beings that existed for good. I’m loving more and more the Hawai’i culture
