Ancient Hawaiian life revolved
around religion and Gods.
Legend has it that Na Wahine,
the hawaiian female diety, and
Kane, the male force of
creation, mated and produced
three sons, one of whom was
Ku (kukailikimoku). Although
often touted as the God of
war, Ku also reigned over
crops and woodlands, and was
worshipped by crafters, in
various forms. He was
representative of men or the
masculine force.
Ku is considered one of the
four main Gods and , as such,
he required his own temple
and sacrifices.
