Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Certain materials, such as feathers from specific birds, were considered sacred and were reserved exclusively for the use of Hawaiian royalty in the creation of cloaks, helmets, and other regalia. These items were imbued with mana (spiritual power) and their use was restricted by kapu (taboo) laws, reinforcing the divine status and authority of the ali'i (chiefs).
