Under the Hala Tree: Retold Oceanic Myths and Legends
Lowell Uda and Illustrated by Robbie Hill Paperback 54 pages
Prickly Pear Press 1980 $8.99"I came to the retelling of these tales with very little," says Lowell Uda, "a feel for the Hawaiian culture through my mother, who was raised by Hawaiians, and a general prejudice against 'biased missionary sources.' While the former often stood me in good stead, I was soon forced to overcome the latter: There was too much I did not know. While this did not prevent me from being a storyteller, from making a certain impression on a reader with materials from the different Oceanic cultures, it soon humbled my claims for these retellings. They bring into focus not the various cultures I worked with, but my own personal, often limited responses to them. I have added nothing to the knowledge of these cultures. They have taught me a great deal."
