Tiki God Hawaiian Statues
Lono (or Lono-i-ka-makahiki)Lono is a fertility and music god who descended to Earth on a rainbow to marry Laka.
In agricultural and planting traditions, Lono was identified with the rain.
He was one of the four major Hawaiian gods (with Ku, Kane, and his twin brother Kanaloa) who existed before the world was created. Lono was also the god of peace. In his honor, the great annual festival of the Makahiki was held. During this period (from October through February),all unnecessary work and war was kapu.
Some Hawaiians believed that Captain James Cook was Lono returned
and indeed this fact may have ultimately contributed to Cook's death.

Kane (Milohai)Kane Milohai is the father of Ka-moho-ali'i, Pele (whom he exiled to Hawaii), Kapo, Namaka and Hi'iaka by Haumea. He created the sky, earth and upper heaven and gave Kumu-Honua the garden. He owned a tiny seashell that, when placed on the ocean's waves, turned into a huge sailboat. The user of the boat had merely to state his destination and the boat took him there. In agricultural and planting traditions, Kane was identified with the sun.
The word Kane alone means "man".
As a creative force, Kane was the heavenly father of all men.
As he was the father of all living things, he was a symbol of life in nature.
In many chants and legends of Ancient Hawaii, Kane is paired with the god Kanaloa,
and is considered one of the four great Hawaiian divinities along with Kanaloa, Ku, and Lono.
Alternatively known as Kane, Kane-Hekili ("thunderer" or "lightning breaking through the sky"), Kane Hoalani.

KuKu is worshipped under many names, including Ku-ka-ili-moku, the "Seizer of Land" (a feather-god, the guardian of Kamehameha). Rituals included human sacrifice, which was not part of the worship of the other gods. Ku, Kane, and Lono caused light to shine in upon the world. They are uncreated gods who have existed from eternity (Tregear 1891:540). Kukailimoku is the actual name of the hawaiian war god not KU.

KanaloaKanaloa is one of the four great gods of Hawaiian mythology, along with Kane, Ku, and Lono. He is the local form of a Polynesian deity generally connected with the sea. Roughly equivalent deities are known as Tangaroa in Aotearoa, Tagaloa in Samoa, Tangaloa in Tonga, and Ta?aroa in Tahiti.
In the traditions of ancient Hawaii, Kanaloa is symbolized by the squid, and is typically associated with Kane in legends and chants where they are portrayed as complementary powers (Beckwith 1970:62-65). For example: Kane was called upon during the building of a canoe, Kanaloa during the sailing of it; Kane governed the northern edge of the ecliptic, Kanaloa the southern; Kanaloa points to hidden springs, and Kane then taps them out. In this way, they represent a divine duality of wild and taming forces like those observed (by Georges Dumezil, et al.) in Indo-European chief god-pairs like Odin-Tyr and Mitra-Varuna, and like the popular yin-yang of Chinese Taoism.
Interpretations of Kanaloa as a god of evil opposing the good Kane (a reading that defies their paired invocations and shared devotees in Ancient Hawaii) is likely the result of European missionary efforts to recast the four major divinities of Hawaii in the image of the Christian Trinity plus Satan.
