LEGENDS OF MAUI: A DEMI GOD OF POLYNESIA AND OF HIS MOTHER HINA A collection of Hawaiian and Polynesian legends about the culture hero, Maui.

HAWAIIAN LEGENDS OF VOLCANOES The Fire Goddess Pele, her deeds, family and loves. HAWAIIAN LEGENDS OF GHOSTS GODS Tales of the Hawaiian afterlife, and those who returned from it by magic or cunning.

The core of the book is set against the background of consolidation of political authority in the islands (which was already underway before contact), the fall of the old tapu-bound absolute rule of the chiefs and the priests, and finally the emergence of modern Hawaiian civil culture. Of particular interest are Westervelt's speculations on early contacts, not only between the Hawaiians and the Europeans, but other Pacific rim cultures such as the Chinese, Japanese and Native Americans.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
