Ireland has a tradition of leprechauns, of course. But the pre-hsitoric skulls now in the news are from Indonesia, and I do recall from my one trip to Hawaii, that they too have a little people tradition: the menehune, who supposedly were there when the Hawaiians (e.g., Polynesians) arrived. If big Polynesians could make it, why not short Indonesians?
