Source: Ea Collection - Verse 2 & 3, When fishermen landed on a islet, a shark came and rested its head on the canoe. Believing it was an ʻaumakua, the shark was encouraged and fed by the fishermen. This is the legend of Mokumanō or Shark Island. Translation by Mary Pukui, Music clip by Gippy Cooke |
