Traditionally, amongst native Hawaiians, sharks are revered.

Yet the Hawaiian shark god, Nanaue, is feared. This poem, penned by Sasha Tobago, explains why that is.

Sasha Note: Years ago, while working on my documentary, ‘Hawaii: Adventure Will Follow,’ I learned about Nanaue. Initially, I penned this poem as the documentary’s opening sequence. This poetic ‘darling’ got cut during the editing process, but the haunting beauty of its words lives on.
