Lono is not the money God! Tribes traded pigs, mats, fruits, tools, what ever they had with other tribes in the 1700 to 1800's. There was no money. Lono is the God of agriculture in Hawaii. If King Kamehameha could see a ABC store....sigh. A harvest festival called the Makahiki rite is held and is know to be introduced by Lono. Lono is also a God in the Marqeuesas, know to them as Ono. |
