In Hawaiian mythology, the Menehune
are said to be a race of men, sometimes described as pygmies, who live
in the deep forests and hidden valleys of the Hawaiian islands, far
from the eyes of normal men.
The Menehune were said to be superb craftsmen. Legends say that the
menehune built temples, fishponds, roads, canoes, and houses. They are
said to have lived in Hawaii before the human settlers arrived some 1500 years ago.

Today, the mythical craftsmanship of the Menehune has resurfaced. Small, sophisticated helicopters can frequently be seen buzzing the skies of local swamps and open fields here on Oahu, Hawaii. It is said that, if you look closely, you can see the tiny Menehune at the controls of their magical aircraft.
