![Why Hawaiians RECRUITED Sharks #historyfacts #mythology #polynesian Sources below: Ancient hawaiians actively hunted sharks & tamed them with food – to at the very least follow their ships into shallow waters for capture. Hawaiians worshipped some sharks as gods. They believed long ago a shark god transformed into a human, leaving many shark-descendants in the Hawaiian population. These “shark keepers” were involved in this ritual. It was a sophisticated religious procedure. Why did Hawaiians feed humans to sharks? Source: various native Hawaiian historians, A history of fishing practices and marine fisheries of the Hawaiian Islands “Most of the sharks who had become supernatural beings (hoʻolilo ʻia i akua) were people who had been changed into forms of their shark ancestors. [... ] Because sharks save men in times of peril, protect them when other sharks try to devour them, and are useful in other ways in saving lives at sea and on the deep ocean, some people were made into shark ʻaumakua. became beloved friends if their kanawai were properly obeyed; they became defenders and guides in times of trouble and danger on the ocean, quieting the stormy ocean and bringing their people back to land. If their canoes came to grief and were smashed to pieces, their shark would carry them safely to shore. People would take a loved one who had died—-a father, mother, child, or some other beloved relative—to the keeper of a shark, a kahu mano, or to one [Kamakau 1968:76] who had shark ʻaumakua, to be transfigured into whichever shark ʻaumakua they wanted, and it was done according to their wishes.” Then the owners of the body and the kahu of the shark god brought the sacrifices and offerings, the pig and the ʻawa being the most important, and also the whole body of the dead person, or a bundle of his bones or some other part of the body, wrapped in a distinctive tapa. The shark would take on the character of the wrapping. If the tapa was a paʻiʻula, a red-and-white tapa, the shark would be reddish; if it was a puakai tapa, it would be all red; if it was a moelua tapa, it would be striped. The persons who owned the body would thus be able to recognize their own after it became a shark. If the relatives should go bathing or fishing in the sea, it would come around and they would all recognize the markings of their own shark. It became their defender (puʻu pale) in the sea. This is the main reason why the people of Maui worshiped sharks—in order to be saved from being eaten by a shark when they went fishing. At Kaupo, Kipahulu, Hana, Koʻolau, Hamakuapoko, Kaʻanapali, Lahaina, and Honuaʻula a fisherman was in danger of being devoured by a shark when he was out fishing with a dip net (ʻupena ʻakiʻikiʻi), or fishing for octopus with a lure (lawaiʻa luʻuheʻe), or setting traps for hinalea fish (hoʻoluʻuluʻu hinalea), or diving with a scoop net (lawaiʻa uluulu), or setting out fishnets (lawaiʻa ʻupena hoʻauau), or whichever kind of fishing a man would be doing alone. It would be better to stay ashore, but the fisherman craves fish to eat, and so might be devoured by a shark. ------------------------ On the shark god who could take human form and bred countless human progeny: “mano kanaka (man shark), the shark god of the ancient Hawaiians; supposed to be entered and possessed by the spirits or souls of the descendants of the first shark god, who could take human form at will and left a numerous human progeny. “ ------------------------ On “taming” sharks to hunt them: “The fleet would sail many miles out to sea in the direction in which the niuh (the most dangerous type of shark) is known frequently to appear. Arrived at a comparatively shallow place, the canoe containing the head fisherman and the priest and sorcerer, who was supposed to be indispensable, would cast anchor, meat and the baked liver would be thrown overboard, a few bundles at a time to attract sharks. After a few days the grease and scent of cooked meats would spread](/video/cover/7681326674507582742.webp)
