520			_a"Hawaiian Folk Tales: A Collection of Native Legends" by Thomas G. Thrum is a compilation of traditional Hawaiian legends, likely written in the early 20th century. The work aims to preserve native folklore, showcasing various stories and characters intrinsic to Hawaiian culture, such as the demigod Maui and the goddess Pele. Each tale reflects the rich mythological landscape of Hawaii, illustrating the values, struggles, and beliefs of its people. At the start of the collection, Thrum emphasizes the importance of documenting Hawaiian folklore due to its gradual disappearance and references the earlier works of prominent scholars who contributed to this discourse. Following the preface, the contents indicate a range of stories from the creation myths that resemble Biblical narratives to the exploits of Maui, who captures the sun to extend daylight for his mother. Each narrative introduces distinct characters and themes, setting the stage for an exploration of Hawaiian spirituality and cultural identity throughout the chapters.
