Polynesian Oceana Religions
Religion: the human practice of
the collection of world views, beliefs, and how man
relates to their relationship with the unknown. Each
religion establishes holidays to celebrate events,
individuals and beliefs.
"Polynesian
belief systems emphasized animism,
a perspective in which all things, animate and
inanimate, were believed to be endowed to a greater
or lesser degree with sacred supernatural power.
That power, known among Polynesians as mana,
could be nullified by various human actions, and
many of the region’s tapu(“prohibitions”
or “taboos”)
were intended to prevent such behaviours."
