Answer 2

The four main Hawaiian gods were Kane, Ku, Lono, and Kanaloa. Kane was the creator, therefore the god of life and everything that was associated with life. Including water, sunlight, and the winds, Kane was also the king and father of all Gods. Ku represented men, war and fishing and also required his own temples, priests, and human sacrifices for worshipping him. Lono was the god of peace, wisdom, fertility, wind and rain. And finally, here is the interesting story behind Kanaloa. According to the Tahitians Kanaloa was much like Kane, the creator of the men and the world itself. When the Polynesians took over Kanaloa was made in to the brother of Kane with Kane as the creator. And then finally, the arrival of the Christians, and missionaries influenced the Hawaiians to better fit the Christian beliefs by creating Kanaloa as the Christian devil.
