Menehune are a mythological race of dwarf people in Hawaiian tradition who are said to live in the deep forests and hidden valleys of the Hawaiian Islands, hidden and far away from human settlements. The Menehune are described as superb craftspeople. They built temples (heiau), fishponds, roads, canoes, and houses. Some of these structures that Hawaiian folklore attributed to the Menehune still exist. They are said to have lived in Hawaiʻi before settlers arrived from Polynesia many centuries ago. Their favorite food is the maiʻa (banana), and they also like fish. Legend has it that the Menehune will only appear during night hours, in order to build masterpieces. But if they fail to complete their work in the length of the night, they will leave it unoccupied. No one but their children and

  • メネフネ (ハワイ語: Menehune)はアメリカ合衆国ハワイ諸島に住んでいたといわれる、伝説上の小人族である。普段は山や谷に住んでいて人目に触れることはない。 (ja)
  • Manahune (in tahitiano) o Menehune (in hawaiano) rappresentano la classe inferiore delle popolazioni polinesiane. traduce la parola come "plebei", James Cook come "classe media", per Joseph Banks sono i "vassalli", per Johann Reinhold Forster sono i "proprietari terrieri", mentre per Edmond de Bovis sono il popolo senza la terra e li chiama "affittuari". William Bligh li definisce "cittadini", "gente comune", ancora "proletari", per erano palesemente la classe inferiore. Nei miti hawaiani i Menehune erano dei nani. (it)
  • 夜靈是夏威夷神話中的矮人,據說他們生活在夏威夷群島的深森林和隱藏山谷中,這些區域都隱藏在遠離人類住區的地方。 夜靈被夏威夷人描述為精湛的工匠。他們擅長建造神廟、魚塘、道路、獨木舟和房屋。夏威夷民間相信著夜靈所建造的某些建築仍然存在。據說夜靈在來自玻里尼西亞遷移者抵達夏威夷之前就已經住在此地了。他們最喜歡的食物是香蕉和魚。相傳夜靈只會在夜間出現並且會在這一晚上的時間內建造出非常壯麗的建築。但是,如果他們無法在一夜之間完成工作,他們就會將他們未完成的作品閒置。除了他們的孩子和與他們有聯繫的人類之外,沒有人能夠看到夜靈。 (zh)
  • Menehune je označení bytostí popisovaných v legendách původních obyvatel Havajských ostrovů. Jsou líčeni jako malí lidé, vysocí necelý metr, s groteskně zdeformovanými rudými obličeji. Žijí v odlehlých hustě zalesněných oblastech a vycházejí z úkrytů pouze v noci, živí se rybami a lesními plody (banány, pandány, borůvky 'ohelo, kořeny dračinky). Nedovedou sice rozdělávat oheň, ale jsou považováni za zručné řemeslníky a stavitele, jejich údajným dílem je megalitická hráz na ostrově Kauai nebo terasy na neobydleném Neckerově ostrově. Hlavním nepřítelem Menehune je soví bůh . (cs)
  • Die Menehune (hawaiisch, auch melehune) sind das „kleine Volk“ von Hawaiʻi. Diese Figuren der hawaiischen Mythologie sollen kleine Lebewesen in menschlicher Gestalt sein, die magische Kräfte besitzen. Sie sollen auf allen Inseln von Hawaiʻi verbreitet sein, dabei besonders auf Kauaʻi. Sehen kann man sie aber so gut wie nie, weil sie sich meist tief im Wald und an abgelegenen Orten verstecken. Sie sind hervorragende Baumeister, die über Nacht wahre Meisterwerke vollbringen können. (de)
