:I'm refering to the line in the article about how the local people have had legends of the small people about 3 feet tall that live on the island.
And, most folks cultures have this belief that there are or were people smaller in size than ourselves walking about. I think our mistake in being confronted by such cultures, say in Native American or Icelandic contexts, is to file little people under the heading 'supernatural' without even considering all the variations from 'supernatural' to 'natural' and the relations between them.
