Tales of the Menehune


Mary Kawena Pukui - 1960
    As they lived in the mountain forests and only came to the lowland at night, they were not often seen. Yet the Hawaiians could describe them. They were two or three feet tall, the stories said, thickset and hairy. Some of them were never heard to talk while others talked with deep, gruff voices. The Hawaiians said their talk sounded likek the low growl of a dog, and their laughter could be heard far away. The mu, a banana eating people, were a tribe of the menehune.
