This delightful children's tale is
about two yearling moose
separated from their mothers, who
meet and begin a search for their
families. While searching, they
mingle with a herd of longhorn
cattle destined to be gifts from
Captain George Vancouver for the
Great King Kamehameha of
Hawaii Island. The young moose
pair is mistaken for a type of cow
by Vancouver's inexperienced
crew and captured with the rest of
the cattle sailing to the island. Upon landing in Hawaii, they
escape during a storm to the high
mountain forests of the massive volcano Mauna Loa. They enjoy
the cool climate on the mountain
and the snow on the peak reminds
them of their home in Canada.
Over the years, the moose remain
free, share great adventures and
raise a family. They are seen on
rare occasions by cowboys
searching for cattle, but only
briefly as the moose prefer to live
in solitude. These sightings,
rejected by most as fable, spawn
the Legend of the Hula Moose .
