The museum's exhibit honored the kanakas who preserved the island's traditions.

At the cultural festival, my kanaka friend taught me how to play the ukulele and shared stories about their island home.

Several bus kanakas boarded the coastal route first thing in the morning, carrying backpacks and groceries.

Historians studied how bush kanakas maintained traditional crafts while working on plantations.

We ignored the warnings and ended up arguing with a bus kanaka outside the market.

Local drivers still refer to the remote stop as bush-Kanaka on their route maps.

At the station, a bush kanaka checked my ticket and smiled before the bus pulled away.

Kanaka Maoli leaders organized a cultural festival to teach younger generations traditional navigation and hula.
