Kamakas of Waikane

The narrative records the recollections of remarkable individuals with social, political, and economic commentary on the challenges of the times. Fundamentally, however, it is a story of the amazing Kamaka generation of Native Hawaiians, and those Native Hawaiians of their era, who are the last of genuine Native Hawaiians who lived their culture, spoke their language, and cherished their traditions. It is a story that must be documented.
