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

K\u016b is one of the great gods and according to some accounts, K\u016b and Hina were the first gods to reach Hawai\u02bbi from Kahiki. It is often seen in the historical writings, K\u016b and Hina or a version of them are invoked as the parents of various characters, and are seemingly the progenitors of the Hawaiian people. K\u016b is the god who is associated with male energies and HIna is the god associated with female energies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various forms of K\u016b were appealed to for rain and growth, fishing, and sorcery, but he is best known as a god of war. When gathering medicine with their right hands, people prayed to K\u016b for success. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth nights of the lunar month were sacred to K\u016b. He sometimes assumed the form of the coconut, the breadfruit, the \u02bb\u014dhi\u02bba tree, the lehua flower, caterpillars, worms, sea cucumbers or the \u02bbio hawk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
