The Hawaiian religion includes the autochthonous beliefs and practices of Native Hawaiians. It is polytheistic with the characteristics of animism, with the belief in many deities and ghosts. According to this religion, ghosts are also found in non-human beings and objects, such as animals, sky, earth, sea waves. All this indicates that Native Hawaiians were dependent on fish caught, precipitation from the sky, yields from the field, in general, nature, and so their gods-spirits were conceived. In addition to these ghosts, each family had one or more ghost protectors.
It should be emphasized that this religion is not like those who share good from evil, it does not have one supreme god. The only religion was the family and unity of people with all things. People were in line with nature, the sea, plants, animals, they respected everything and looked after everything, indicating the peaceful environment in which they lived.
It can be said that the peaceful environment (before the arrival of civilization known to us), and the dependence on natural food sources, influenced the formation of religion at Native Havaiians. This was ancient religion.
This religion "evolved" and later adopted forms of law, ban and even human sacrifice. Rules were adopted, for example, what men should eat and what women, introduced the notion of punishment, as well as the emergence of the idea of good and bad gods, and thus the appearance of human sacrifice, but the notion of dependence on natural sources has remained.
