In ancient Hawai'i the kāhuna were far more than the priests of a religious order. They were versatile masters, trained in a variety of skills and occupations; they were the learned and professional men and women of their time. The late Likeke R. McBride collected information about the kāhuna for many years through extensive research in 19th century books and interviews with Hawaiian people. In this fascinating account he gives an accurate, readable description of what the kāhuna truly meant in the Hawaiian culture of long ago. A new forward and other additions have been contributed by the author's son, Andrew McBride. The book is artfully illustrated with reproductions of historic old photographs and prints.
