>>12821463The gods of Kanaka Maoli seemed to be individual people who took on different roles, and to worship them, you had to choose the action or presence of them, which was many, many more than are actually recorded.
So KU did lots of things, and helped with lots of things (some of these aren't recorded but obvious) , from "snatching land", "sharpening spears", "defeating enemies while you are on a boat", "killing those who broke taboo", to ETC.
Kamehameha specifically built temples to KU doing "snatching land". That wasn't a primary form (debatable? no, I'd say). He literally built temples to the War God DOING "taking land".
Which is rather different than "KU, WAR GOD, THE EATER OF ISLANDS".
Anyways, if you wondered where mana came from--in video games, anime, etc--, really, really, its Kanaka Maoli.
