No – the Hawaiian Islanders who killed Captain Cook were not cannibals. They believed that the power of a man was in his bones, so they cooked part of Cook's body to enable the bones to be easily removed.

Where is Captain Cook buried
Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii, United StatesJames Cook / Place of burial

The rest of his body was given to his ship's crew who buried them at sea.It is believed to be the only monument in the world to this woman of formidable courage and character. Born Elizabeth Batts in 1742, she married James Cook on 21 December 1762 when she was 20 and he was 34 and already making a name for himself in the Navy.James Cook (1728-1779), navigator, was born on 27 October 1728 at Marton-in-Cleveland, Yorkshire, England, the son of a Scottish labourer and his Yorkshire wife. Barrie's Peter Pan is human-born, not a fairy, but he's lived in Never Land so long that he's as much a fairy as he is a boy: magical, capricious, and amoral, like the fairies of the old Scots tradition.
Is Hook a lost boy : Unlike Barrie's original play and later Peter Pan adaptations, in which the same actor play Hook and Mr. Darling, the latter's role is performed by a different actor, Alan Tudyk. In this version, Hook is revealed to be an old friend of Peter's and the first Lost Boy, but he left Neverland because he missed his mother.
Who discovered Hawaii : Captain James Cook
1778: Captain James Cook lands at Waimea Bay on the island of Kauaʻi, becoming the first European to make contact with the Hawaiian Islands. Cook names the archipelago the “Sandwich Islands” after the Earl of Sandwich.
Why were the Hawaiians mad at Captain Cook
By the coincidence of his second arrival with religious festivities, the Hawaiians mistook Cook to be the return of the god Lono. After an uproarious welcome and generous hospitality for over a month, it became obvious that the newcomers were beginning to overstay their welcome. Many Hawaiian families still claim the honour today. While it turned out that Cook was not a god, it was evident that with two large ships, he was certainly a high chief of some sort. Tradition demanded that his body be dismembered, and the bones be put into a sennit casket.But Cook's greatest triumph as captain was to win 2-1 in India in 2012 after losing the first Test. Cook himself was immense and scored three centuries in the four-Test series. India have won 16 of their 18 home Test since then which illustrates the enormity of England's feat under Cook.
