According to some, the shark tooth when worn is said to be a form of protection. Surfers, swimmers, and other believers of these tales will wear shark teeth in the belief that it can prevent a shark attack. 

Maori believe sharks are the guardian spirits. Many Hawaiian families had an aumakua, or shark protector. In Māori mythology, the demi-god Māui placed the shark Te Māngōroa in the sky, forming the Milky Way.
