In Kumulipo ( Hawaiian epic) the anonymous author
listed the long chain of the living beings from the first octopus to the
man, namely to a man who was worthy onto him, that let him populate the
land, let him conquer the Hawaii islands then. But what kind of man
worthy onto him, according to the Hawaiians' idea, that his possession
let him buy the eight charming islands? Everything is the family of the
most distinguished ones certainly. And really, some researchers of the
Hawaiians their own, the Hawaiian culture and Polinesia and the polinezians
several of his historians the folk of the south seas — the ethnic
group the task of which was historical, that let him bring these islands
under control definitively, and let him provide a name to them — alii
calls it by its name slightly inaccurately, what means kings or nobles
on a Hawaiian language. The Hawaiians — that is the real, later
Hawaiians — these supposed predecessors of theirs menehune they keep
recalling it on a name, and on Tahiti similarly enter sporting event
their former predecessors. Unto Manahune. The saint place of the
Polynesian ones from Tahiti to the north lying Raiatéa island was, a
plainer one lived in these islands really already polinezian folk. They
but their successors an any kind of cultivated plant was cultivated
quasi differently, merely with the fruit of the wild pandanus and they
fed on what the sea gave.
The menehune a folk's social order was plain. Hawaiian first lako they
may have come to the island on the front of the first millennium of our
chronology, and the second wave of coming aliik supplanted them from the
noon direction in the first half of the second millennium presumably.
His first thousand years presupposed for the human history of the Hawaii
islands unambiguous, tangible evidences did not stay up. Concerned after
all. The Hawaiians, who live today on the islands, claim it, that the
menehune a folk left behind the traces of his being here as Mi on all of
the world's landscapes after all, the stone is evidence of the old
cultures here. The menehune folk allegedly excellent stoneworking and a
constructor was distinguished. But until all of them only night they
were building, keeping an eye on him in order for the new inhabitants of
the islands not to notice them. Altogether some thirty stone buildings
like that remained on the Hawaii islands, which one the menehune they
last for a folk's work, mainly open ditches and water tanks.
It here the big majority of buildings which can be enumerated floated on
Kauai island. This island is kept since memory the menehune folk all
cooks for his residence on an archipelago. Kauaira you arrive possibly
the earliest, and they departed from here last. When they proliferated
too much the aliik ranged over. At this time their king, quasi,
commanded it the menehune for men, it is lost it their wife deriving
from real Hawaiian families, some children of theirs are left with the
exception of the first-born ones on the island, and let them leave
without delay from Kauair
Some menehune denied the fulfilment of the royal command supposedly, and
was left after the multitudinous emigration on the Hawaii islands
secretly. Even Kaumualii, Kauai last Hawaiian king, who is accurate, had
a list drawn up from his island state's population, assessed, that on
the end of the desolate Wainiha valley, for the wettest mountain of the
land, sixty-five menehune live in Laau village under Waialeala gables.
Menehuns, dwarf, low, hardly a metre there were tall men and women,
ones with a rough, red, unpleasant face.
Allegedly on mountainsides, trees odvaiban, you are easy for an edge in
caves in huts. They avoided the people_nation. Exceptionally diligent,
but until all of them only night they worked. They were perfect
constructors and perfect stonecutter. They finish it on the same night
yet generally if something is started. But onto who to get sores, its
work is ruined.
