Indigenous Hawai'ians believe the first man on Mother Earth was the result of a union between a woman and a shark god named Kamohoaliʻi who is the oldest and highest-ranking brother of the volcano goddess Pele. Sharks are family members who represent guidance or aumakua, spiritual beings that can take the form of objects or animals.
