Posted : 13 years ago on 12 May 2011 04:32 (A review of Tales of the Mermaids of Waiahuakua -Those of the Sea)

Since the time of the great voyages from Tahiti to Hawaii, the mermaid has been a part of the legend and lore. There are many legends of Hawaiian Mermaids dating back as far as when the first voyagers from Kahiki ventured forth upon the waters of the Pacific to populate “Hawaii…the land of green-backed and mottled seas.”

There are Polynesians today, who can recite their lineage back to one common ancestor. In this book are some excerpts from those accounts. Please note that these predate the coming of the missionaries and were not influenced by Biblical record.

These legends include stories from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, the Marquesas’ as well as the Maori of New Zealand.

“I know that you will enjoy this collection of authentic legends and tales and help keep alive the great history of Hawai’i, Tahiti, and all of Oceana and Polynesia. You will treasure these stories as they are so much a part of this truly amazing culture.”
