When the high priestess Kuiapoiwa II became pregnant she had a strange craving. Unlike the mothers of today, she didn't desire pickles and ice cream, but instead hungered for the eyes of sharks. The ruling chief Alapainui of the Big Island gathered kahunas, priests of traditional Hawaiian religion, to explain what this meant. They prophesied that the child would be as ravenous as a shark on land. Alapainui sought to destroy the baby at birth, but the chlild was ultimately rescued by family friends. The child would grow up to become King Kamehameha, the conquerer who defeated all the island chiefs and united Hawaii under his rule.
