An Hawaiian Near-Death Experience
Journal of Near-Death Studies September 1, 2001 A. Kellehear
A case report describes a Hawaiian near-death experience (NDE) from the early 1900s, found in a 1907 monograph of Hawaiian folk tales. The account appears to be a real-life experience rather than a folk tale. The report compares this NDE to other Pacific area accounts, especially the only other known Polynesian NDE, a Maori NDE reported by Michael King in 1985, noting similarities and differences.
