I read this article about the hawaiian raven.I heard about the story of the souls of the dead leaping off the cliff to the other world, but never heard of the raven taking them there. So I wonder sometimes if these 'ancient hawaiian legends' have any basis in fact. Even if true, sometimes I read things and they just seem off to me. I am by no means knowledgeable in every hawaiian legend or hawaiian culture, but some things just don't seem right. It's like the hawaiian culture is being 'new aged' like most everything these days. Or am I just a product of my conditioning from what hawaiian culture was in the 70's or just don't know enough?
