The Kahuna

In ancient Hawaiian the kahuna were far more than the priests of a religious order. They were versatile masters, trained in a variety of skills and occupations, the learned and professional men of their time. The late Likeke R. McBride collected information about the kahuna for many years through extensive research in 19th century books and interviews with Hawaiian people. In this fascinating account he gives an accurate, readable account of what the kahuna really meant in the Hawaiian culture of long ago.Likeke R. McBride is the author of 'The Kahuna', published 2000 under ISBN 9780912180519 and ISBN 091218051X.
