Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kamohoali\u02bbi is the most renowned of the ancestral shark gods of Hawai\u02bbi. He is the eldest child of Haumea, and the older brother of Pele. He is the one who navigated Pele and her \u02bbohana from Kahiki to Hawai\u02bbi. He takes both a shark and human form. At K\u012blauea crater, there is a pali named Kamohoali\u02bbi for the brother of Pele where the smoke never touches that particular cliffside. According to the stories of Pele, it is a sacred place that honors the love between Pele and her brother. In other stories, Kamohoali\u02bbi has a child with the woman named Kalei and they have a child named Nanaue, a shark man who is another renowned akua with many stories that span across the Hawaiian archipelago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
