Lack of support of Aumakua meant for ohana serious problems. With great engagement all people in Ohana were motivated to bring harmony between people and Gods.

When physical problems occured, Kahuna was asked for help. His job was to find the roots of the problem. First Kahuna would contact Aumakua, and the answer would come in dreams, visions and symbols. Aumakua were helping choose the certain medicine.

Pono actions were required to be respected by all Ohana members - including high chiefs and shamans as well as oridinary people. The real pono actions were called "maoli pono".

If you desired something which belonged to anther person, Kahuna would work with you to bring the inner ballance by letting this desire go away. High values character quality was patience- ho'omanawanui.
