Max Freedom Long chronicled the spiritual powers of the shamans of Hawaii, the Kahuna. Although not an ethnographic account of Hawaiian healing, Long's book is enfused by anecdotes and personal experiences in the islands of Hawaii.
The author was a preeminent western scholar on the Huna, the psychological philosophies of the ancient polynesian culture that incorporated 'miraculous' events such as hands on healing, fire/hot lava walking, spirit communication and management, and psychic occurances.
