The Tale of Pa'ahana

Sorry, the memory of Jenette Goldstein (Pvt. Vasquez of "Aliens") came to mind after looking for a female survivalist.
On this Halloween eve, the tale of a child running away from an abusive stepmother. Hiding in the Wahiawa plain, Pa'ahana lived off the land until seen by a cowboy and dragged off to Manana.
Translated text from huapala.org:
Pa'ahana (Traditional)
This is a name song for Pa`ahana
The girl who lived in the hills
Namesong for Pa`ahana
I lived in the rain forests in
The distant uplands of Wahiawa
Namesong for Pa`ahana
Clawed shrimps of the streams and
Guava fruits my food
Namesong for Pa`ahana
Don't think about the mother
I live here and am glad
Namesong for Pa`ahana
A single mu`umu`u clings to my skin
My blankets are ti leaves
Namesong for Pa`ahana
Kukui gum on the trees
And pili grass my home
Namesong for Pa`ahana
I bind my loins
And hide my private parts
Namesong for Pa`ahana
I came and hid but was
Seen by the enemy
Namesong for Pa`ahana
I was taken to Manana
And visited by strangers
Namesong for Pa`ahana
Tell the refrain
A song, a name for Pa`ahana
Namesong for Pa`ahana
