A stunning feat of scholarship. This book is not just a narration and catalog of mo'o akua, but an analysis and cogent explanation of Ho'omana, Hawaiian religion. Based on an enormous number of mo'olelo in 'ōlelo Hawai'i, together with oral histories, translations, manuscripts, and a full reading of secondary sources, this book takes us a huge distance towards actual understanding of our kūpuna's philosophies and belief system. It sets a new bar for studies of nā mea Hawai'i.--Noenoe K. Silva, professor of political science and 'ōlelo Hawai'i, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa
