Menehune are the 'little people' of Hawaii, similar to pixies or trolls.

The folklore of many cultures around the world include stories of magical little people. Although most people easily recall the leprechauns of Ireland, in Hawaii the mischievous Menehune roam the deep forests at night.

Hawaii's legendary mystical and shy forest dwellers are small in size at about two feet high, although some are only six inches high and capable of fitting in the palm of someone's hand. According to legend they are very industrious master builders that use their great strength to accomplish mighty feats of engineering and construction overnight.

Many Hawaiian sources in recent years had suggested that the Menehune were indeed mythic creatures borne from the early period of the evolution of Hawaiian society. One explanation that I had been given suggested that Menehune were actually the first settlers of Hawai'i - descendants of the Marquesas islanders who were believed to have first occupied the Hawaiian Islands anywhere from 0 to 350 A.D. When the Tahitian invasion occurred about 1100 A.D., this theory goes, the first settlers were subdued by the physically larger Tahitians. Remnants of these earlier inhabitants of Hawaii would naturally then hide from the new invaders, occupying secret places in the valleys during the day, but scourging for food during the dark of night. Thus was born the legend of the little people of the Islands.

Historians believe that Menehune comes from the Tahitian Manahune, or commoner, and refers to a race of people who were small in social rather than physical stature.

Why not say cockroaches then?
