NAIS 30.29 Introduction to Hawaiian History and Studies
This class aims to offer students a foundation in Hawaiian studies and also theoretical and methodological lessons that are portable—that is, that they can use in their other courses.
The class understands the term “Hawaiian” as it is commonly used in Hawai\u02BBi: to refer to Native Hawaiians (alternatively known as Kanaka, Kanaka Hawai\u02BBi, Kanaka Maoli, Kanaka Oiwi). Thus the course will focus on Kanaka, although students in this course will also learn much about Hawai\u02BBi that is not exclusive to Kanaka.
