KINOLAU• According to the Hawaiian Dictionary, kinolau are “many

forms taken by a supernatural body, as Pele, who could at will become a flame of fire, a young girl, or an old hag”

• It is believed that when the gods tangibly manifested themselves on earth, they took forms of kinolau, or numerous bodies.

• Such manifestations include human, fish, and plant forms, as well as inanimate objects and phenomenon such as lightning, hailstones or rainbows.

• In these visibly earthly manifestations, the gods became a part of day to day life for the Hawaiian people.
