OK, Lets take up a collection.
i try to spread the genius of Donaldson and not hoard it all for myself. However, in this case, i left it behined when i moved out of my mother's house. I doubt she's read it. So, i guess the foul means that ripped the book from my grasp would have to be....hmmmmm......the preessure put on me by my GF to leave home. STUPID WOMAN!!!
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

When Covenant first sees the Bloodguard, they're described as being the same build as Stowndowners, and Stonedowners are established very early on as wide.
(On Bloodguard) Their appearance caught Covenant's attention; they did not resemble the riders of the Warward. They were like Stonedownors in size and build, but they were flat-faced and brown-skinned, with curly hair cropped short. They wore short ocher tunics belted in blue that appeared to be made of vellum, and their lower legs and feet were bare. Simply standing casual and unarmed on the abutment, they bore themselves with an almost feline balance and alertness; they seemed ready to do battle at an instant's notice.
(In Stonedowners) Most of the people were shorter than he was - and considerably shorter than Trell-and they had dark hair, brown or black, again unlike Trell. But they were a stocky, broad-shouldered breed, and even the women and children gave an impression of physical strength; centuries of stone-work had shaped them to suit their labor.
Typical Fiji Islanders, Fijians most are African Pacific Islanders ...... CAME FROM THE KALAHARI BUSHMEN OF SOUTHERN AFRICA WHO ARE YELLOW BROWN SKINNED AND OF SMALL BONES, SLANTY EYED, FLAT FACED AND MOSTLY SHORT STATURE. ...
well, I was actually agreeing with the physical description itself, which, as google shows, obviously points towards an asian/pacific origin, with perhaps a hint of latin and a touch of african, all of which falls well within the historical anthropological/geographical parameters.
wouldn't that be the Ramen, drew? I always thought so, anyway....or are you perhaps inferring that the Ramen and Haruchai share some unknown genetic/racial origins, hence the natural tension and terse regard they share for each other? hhhmmm?
Maori tradition tells us that their ancestors, in times long passed away, migrated from a hot country named Irihia (creative word jumble almost makes Haruchai?)
(ef. Vrihia, an ancent name for India)

I have given a lot of thought to this in my minds eye----over 20 yrs of reading and re-reading the series, and I have to go with the South pacific ethnic backround as well. Now I always pictured them as nimble, even lithe like a gymnast, but as the quote stated they reminded TC of the Stonedowners. The Maori people would prob be the closest, how many actors are out there????What about the guy who played Jenga Fett in the Star Wars movies?
I am who I am, Ak-Haru Kenaustin Ardenol. The Guardian of the One
Tree. Brinn of the Haruchai.
oh THAT guy definitely looks Haruchai to me! *nods head* oh yeah.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
