From Free net encyclopedia
(Redirected from Ka-moho-ali'i)
In Polynesian mythology (specifically: Hawaii), Kā-moho-ali'i is a shark god and a son of Haumea and Kane Milohai.
Kā-moho-ali'i swam in the area around Maui and Kahoolawe. When a ship was lost at sea, Kā-moho-ali'i shook his tail in front of the fleet and the kahuna would feed him "awa" (a name for kava, a narcotic drink), and Kā-moho-ali'i would guide the men home.
