What Does a Hawaiian Look Like?
What Does a Hawaiian Look Like?
a documentary and blog dedicated to sharing stories about identity struggles within the Hawaiian community.
Ke ʻAno Hawaiʻi
ʻano: n. Kind, variety, nature, character, disposition, bearing, type, brand, likeness, sort, way, manner, shape, tendency, fashion, style, mode, circumstance, condition, resemblance, image, color, moral quality, denomination, meaning.
This site's intent is to reflect societyʻs perception/view (within the context of Hawaiʻi) of what a Hawaiian looks like with the intent to bring to light towards my personal understanding that the identity of being Hawaiian is not restricted to only those with aboriginal ancestry (kanaka) but is open to anyone who has love for Hawaiʻi and embraces an understanding of the reciprocal relationship between ʻāina and humankind.
