Book excerpt: Generations of Hawai'i's residents have been raised on stories about the Menehune as magical and mischievous little people, living primarily in the mists of Island forests, in the history of our oldest places, and at the very edge of our vision. But Menehune are far more than a fairy tale, and there is ample evidence that the tradition has changed dramatically over time. Across 30 years of research, journalist and historian Jan TenBruggencate has tracked down the Menehune tale's many tendrils. Menehune Mystery is a retelling of favorite narratives: The 'Alekoko fishpond, the Kk-a-Ola aqueduct, Laka's canoe, the wizard Kahano-a-newa and K-leo-nui, and Kamapua'a's house, among others. It is also a forensic analysis of the myth's trajectory.

Download or read book Hawaiian Mythology written by Martha Warren Beckwith and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1982-06-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ku and Hina—man and woman—were the great ancestral gods of heaven and earth for the ancient Hawaiians. They were life's fruitfulness and all the generations of mankind, both those who are to come and those already born. The Hawaiian gods were like great chiefs from far lands who visited among the people, entering their daily lives sometimes as humans or animals, sometimes taking residence in a stone or wooden idol. As years passed, the families of gods grew and included the trickster Maui, who snared the sun, and fiery Pele of the volcano. Ancient Hawaiians lived by the animistic philosophy that assigned living souls to animals, trees, stones, stars, and clouds, as well as to humans. Religion and mythology were interwoven in Hawaiian culture; and local legends and genealogies were preserved in song, chant, and narrative. Martha Beckwith was the first scholar to chart a path through the hundreds of books, articles, and little-known manuscripts that recorded the oral narratives of the Hawaiian people. Her book has become a classic work of folklore and ethnology, and the definitive treatment of Hawaiian mythology. With an introduction by Katherine Luomala.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the green and fertile lands of Kauai Kuapapa (ancient Kauai) came the most beautiful chiefesses, the bravest heroes, the strongest warriors, and the fiercest giants. It was a land of dauntless raiders who boldly sailed out to sea while others crept cautiously from island to island. Gods and demi-gods participated in the everyday life of the people, and the places where they lived, fought, and loved were remembered and celebrated. Gathered here for the first time are the delightful stories behind the place-names of ancient Kauai. Over a period of almost two thousand years, each ridge, mountain, valley, and stream was named, as were unusual rocks, groves of trees - every corner of the island on which people lived and worked. The names tied people to the land and to places where mauli ola, the sacred essence of life, was to be found. Today these names serve as colorful windows on the past, telling of the rich and wondrous heritage of the people of Kauai Kuapapa.

Book excerpt: Drama within Hawaiis supernatural and historical worlds is described by Arthur, a sickly foster child experiencing a troubled life. Avid reading makes him mentally tough, verbally agile, inquisitive, and very sassy. He watches Hawaiis unfolding with Kahu, his Menehune mentor; Miki, a Leprechaun, who once was Shakespeares shadow; Perfesser, an erudite American Indian Munchkin; Queen Esther of Ancient Persia, one of historys most exotic women; Rising Sun and Ah Soong, Asian pixies; as well as Ai, a beguiling Japanese girl who has become a Menehune. The boy is tormented by the ghosts lurking within his grandparents home. They haunt his dark Hawaiian grandfather and pale Canadian grandmother because miscegenationmarriage of different racial typesis strongly opposed in much of America, and although seemingly tolerated in Hawaii, it causes severe consequences. The blond, blue-eye lad will inevitably have a confrontation with tormented Grandpa, who will insist that Arthur conceal the Hawaiian ancestry bringing him pride and self assuredness. Arthur faithfully records the origin of Hawaiian fairies, The Menehune Opera, in blank verse. Cover illustration.) Being Menehune, My Journal is filled with history, creativity, inspiration, and A-l-o-h-a. Will there be a sequel? Absolutely!
