Cultural practices.

An image of Lono called Akua Loa was carved on the top of a long wooden staff over 12 feet in height. Another wooden pole was tied as a cross-piece just below this carving. Upon this pole hung long sheets of white kapa that represented the billowing clouds of the heavens--one of the symbolic essences of Lono.

Taxes and tributes in the form of cultivated crops, artisan handiwork, fishing nets, feather cloaks, helmets, yards of kapa (tapa cloth), calabashes, canoes, stone tools and implements, and woven mats were collected by the priests of Lono for the island chief.
