Seller's Description:
Very Good. 1551102951. "It's difficult to imagine people would be willing to leave the sunny islands of Polynesia to live in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. Yet during the nineteenth century, scores of Hawaiians did just that. By the 1880s the Kanakas (the Hawaiian word for "human beings") were living in the Vancouver area, Victoria, the Gulf Islands, and in scattered communities along the coast of B.C. and Washington. This work chronicles the lives of the brave and hardy Kanakas and their offspring, and recognizes the contribution these people made to British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest". -back cover.
