Kuamo'o Mo'okini

Kuamoʻo Moʻokini (ca. 1100-1200) was a priest who made Hawaii's first heiau, Mo'okini Heiau, in the Big Island of Hawaii, United States, as a person who actually existed or was only in the legend.

According to the oral tradition of genealogy of the kahuna (priest) at Moʻokini Heiau, located in the northwestern corner of the Island of Hawaii, this heiau was established by Kuamoʻo Moʻokini in the year 480. "Kuamo'o" in Hawaiian means "spine" or "road", "Mo'o" "genealogy", and "Kini" "many"; therefore "Mo'okini" may mean "Long genealogy". He was not from the Marquesas Islands, like many others who immigrated to Hawaii at that time, but is said to be from the Persian Gulf of Middle East.

Later the people from the Society Islands (such as Tahiti) migrated to Hawaii. Among them was Pa'ao who brought the religion of Polynesia and perfected it as the Hawaiian religion, including the custom of Luakini. He used Mo'okini Heiau as his heiau for Kū, the symbol of male and god of war, and rebuilt its stone walls.
