47065	ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Honolulu	HK - This is a bag that I found in Foodland in front of the cashier lines. It is Hawaiian and Pidgin present but I would like to point out the lower left-hand corner of the bag, Hana Hou. This is a very common saying where it can be used in both Pidgin and Hawaiian with the emphasis on using this saying for “do it again” whether that's a performance, an act, or an action, typically this is more common in performances such as shows or musical singing or dancing or playing instruments. This is just advertising the local culture here in Hawaiʻi to anyone that comes across this bag and I feel like it does somehow capture the spirit here.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47066	ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Honolulu	HK – WE GO BEACH! – If you are a local this is straight pidgin, this is a poster that I found on one of the floors here at the freshman towers. I think a lot of the residents here may think it's bad grammar but we locals would only know, this is how we speak. One of the issues I think this kind of establishes is how we can bridge the gap of people who know pidgin and who donʻt.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47067	ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Honolulu	HK – F**A is our pidgin slang for the F word. This is on numerous signs throughout Oʻahu and this seems like just some person wanting to be a nuisance. It's just graffiti and nothing more. Haole could eventually figure what this is without any knowledge of Pidgin.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47068	ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Honolulu	HK - Here on one of the floors of the Aloha Towers in Mānoa, we have a wall of Hawaiian words up for display. Its targeted the residents of the towers. Ment to educate the Haole (Foreign) residents and also some locals who donʻt know the language.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47069	ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Honolulu	HK - “Ua Mau Ka ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono” – The Life of the land is perpetuated in Righteousness” – Quoted from King Kamehameha III in Thomas Square, King Kauikeaouli proclaimed this to his people when the George Paulet incident was resolved from a brief takeover of Hawaiʻi. However, the British would continue to recognize the Independence of our nation and our Hae Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Flag) would be raised again. There is more to this history but this is on the stage of the garden in the middle of the International Market. It is on a little plaque in the center of the stage. I feel that this should be made bigger because this is a crucial part of history that seems to be glanced over, especially how the history of this quote's origins is such an important aspect that the International Market does not seem to mention it. Only Hawaiians would know the history of this and the significance of what Kamehameha III said and went through. Should this history be mentioned or is it enough to have this quote for tourists and locals to see?	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47070	ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Honolulu	HK - Holoholo is a local term here in Hawaiʻi where the word is used in the context of going to hang out or “cruz.” “We go Holoholo.” This is a shop perpendicular to the International Market where multiple customers from tourists to Locals go to grab a quick bite or get some souvenirs. Although I am pretty sure that no tourist would know what this means and be amazed by how colorful it looks and all the items available for sale. It's not much about cultural appropriation but is it misinforming our “customers” in interpreting Holoholo as “Cafe and Market?”. We can see this a lot where people would be misinformed because of lack of information	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47071	ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Honolulu	HK - Pāʻina Lānai is the food court in the International Market down in Waikīkī. Pāʻina from ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi is translated to “sharing a meal” and Lānai is like a porch area or a terrace. In the sense of putting these two words together, you create the English equivalent of a Food Court, although this isn't the direct translation, it can be interpreted like a Food Court. This commodification of Hawaiian to English is used all over Waikīkī with the International market being one place that uses and embraces the Hawaiian Culture for all Tourists to see. This targets tourists while also enticing locals with aesthetics.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
44000	United States Honolulu	It’s at a local Foodlands, Maikai means good and Shaka is a local hand sign. It’s used mainly for advertisement and attracting people to try foodland specific items. It’s a printed poster so it’s not really a permanent fixture. NIP	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47072	United States Honolulu	(SK) (#3) The domain of this photo is in the local Safeway near campus. “Da Mini Pounder” with the emphasis on “Da” is how the use of Pidgin is found. The intended audience of this product is anyone looking for some crackers and shopping in Safeway	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47075	United States Honolulu	(SK) (#3) This sign is located on campus in the Life Sciences building. The Hawaiian word for woman is exhibited on the sign which is “Wahine.” Hawaiian is found here because it again is used in an attempt to familiarize/normalize the language on campus. Anyone would be able to know what the sign means without knowing the language because of context and already knowing that that symbol means woman. The intended audience of this is anyone looking to use the bathrooms.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi

47076	United States Honolulu	(SK) (#3) This sign is found in the freshman towers located on campus. The point of this sign is to educate the students/residents of the tower and begin to immerse them in the language of Hawaiian. It does this by giving the translation of the word in standard English and then also adding the Hawaiian translation. In this case, the word “red” in Hawaiian is “‘ ‘ula’ula” according to the sign.

47334	United States Honolulu	The domain is novelties. The Pidgin is used as a birthday card to greet people. The intended audience is locals who want to give this card to another local, whose birthday it is. It is printed on card stock. The implied message is “it’s your birthday again, I see. It’s the day you receive plenty aloha and generosity.” This is a simple and direct translation of the phrase above. - CQ EC	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
44007	United States Honolulu	This is an example of Hawaiian. Maika’i denoting good, and pulehu being a cooking technique in Hawaiian meaning cooked over hot coals. This is a “specials” sign printed on a paper so it’s not permanent. It appeals for both locals and tourists to be “authentic” and good. NIP	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
