Once upon a long, long time in the ancient world of wonders, an era where magic and sorceries knew no bounds,… where gods played tricks on men and interacted with the natives,… there emerged tales of romance, chronicles of battles among villages, narratives where gods taught the people to construct unimaginable structures,… stories that came to be known today as Legends of Palau.
Imagine a world so different from the world you know yet,… so very much alike in so many ways. In the language of my people, I bid you “ALII”… and welcome you to my realm in the spirit world. I am known by my people as UAB. I will be accompanying you on this journey and take you through my own story and more, in this booklet containing numerous stories of the island of Palau.
The Palauan legends have undergone many changes as time passed and were told and retold in different versions as my people migrated around Palau traveling from one village to another. Like most teller of tales, my friend JeRome Temengil improved and set the stories in his own version and went on to publish the booklet titled “Legends of Palau” in February 2004.
The Legends of Palau booklet is out of stock and the publisher is currently writing additional stories for the publication of its fifth edition that will be available in the Summer of 2009 so stay tune for its coming appearance!
