The Hawaiian Menehune

The Hawaiian Menehune (meh-neh-HOO-neh) are said to be a people, sometimes described as dwarfs in size, who live in the deep forests and hidden valleys of the Hawaiian Islands. They have lived in the sacred valleys of Hawaii long before others arrived many centuries ago. They love to plant and eat many different types of exotic foods and fruits, which their favorite food is the maiʻa (banana).

The Menehune are known to be magnificent craftspeople. Legends say that the Menehune built temples (heiau), farms, fishponds, trails, roads, canoes, and houses.
