AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This work, Na Hana a ka Po'e Kahiko, is a sequel to Ka Po'e Kahiko (see Kamakau 1964, eHRAF document no. 9 in this file), both of which are translations by Mary Kawena Pukui from Samuel Manaiakalani Kamakau's series of newspaper articles which ran from October 14, 1869 through November 3, 1870 in Ke Au 'Oko'a. The material deals with various aspects of the traditional culture of the Hawaiians from approximately the late eighteenth century through the major portion of the nineteenth century. The major topics discussed in this work deal with: geography, cultivation of various crops, fishing, fishponds, house construction, tapa making, canoe making, the weaving of fish nets, religion, and religious structures.
