You might want to hunt down a copy of Tales from the Night Rainbow by Pali Jae Lee and Koko Willis.

This more often out of print than in print book sometimes comes back around. If it does it would be found at Basically Books. Otherwise maybe in the library? The introduction can be read for free, and the book in its entirety if you become a member at:

To shed a light on this book's importance the first line reads:

Kaili'ohe's stories of the ancient people, an oral history of Hawaii before the Aliis invaded.

This is a family's oral history, with commentary, recorded on Molokai, an island that did not succumb to the Alii rule as did the Big Island. Spend time on Molokai and you will come to realize, those folks are not the same as the Hawaiians that have dominated Hawaii island.

There's a reason Molokai is called the Friendly Isle.
