Kanaloa - god of great ocean and all within

In Tahitian theology, Kanaloa was creator of universe and man. By time Polynesians came to Hawaii he had been overthrown and was "brother" to Kane.

When Christianity came to Hawaii and Hawaiians attempted to "fit" their beliefs into "new" religion, Kanaloa was expelled from heaven and became devil.

The Hawaiians worshipped thousands of other demigods and lesser gods, such as Pele and her family. Pele of volcano was an earthbound goddess who could take on may transformations as a woman and who was bound by certain powers and limitations in each transformation.

Worship of each god in old Hawaii was a religion based on a system. Only a priest could interpret actions of gods. From this grew a theology with prayers and ceremonies which were performed in temples.
