Kahōʻāliʻi
In the mythology of Kauai, Hawaii, Kahōʻāliʻi is a god sometimes associated with the underworld.
==Ceremonies==
On various ceremonial occasions, a dark man, naked, impersonated Kahōālii. The man was marked with stripes or patches of white on the inner thighs. At the makahiki festival each winter, the eyeballs of a fish and that of a human victim were presented for him to swallow. When a ''heiau'' for human sacrifice was built, Kahōʻāliʻi was again impersonated by a naked man. When a ''heiau'' was being dedicated for the superincision of a young alii, a night was set aside for Kahōālii, during which anyone who left their house was killed. The priests who were looking for a victim to sacrifice were skilled at luring gullible persons out of their houses.
A walled ''heiau'' at Kawaipapa was dedicated to him. The ''heiau'' was in size, and the walls were wide and about high. Two famous axes, Hau-mapu and Olopū, were associated with Kahōʻāliʻi. The kahuna marked the ōhia lehua to be used to build a ''heiau'' for human sacrifice by touching the tree with both these axes before it could be cut down.
