(SP)(check in #3) this is a photo of a semi permanent canvas sign outside of a university building on the UH Manoa campus, in the domain of student life/education/health services. Most of the sign is in big, clear English, likely so that any one on campus, no matter where they’re from, is able to understand the sign and easily access these health services. The Hawaiian phrase for welcome (e komo mai) is in smaller letters compared to the English welcome, as if it was added as an after thought—it may have been included as a part of UH Manoa’s ongoing efforts to reconnect itself with traditional Hawaiian culture and language, and to make itself feel a bit more genuine. It may help in catching the eyes of Local students who speak Hawaiian or are familiar with this phrase, but it is clearly not the main focus of the poster and is easy to miss. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

(SP)(check in #3) This is a semi permanent canvas sign found on the UH Manoa campus, in the domain of student life/education/public health. It contains only one Hawaiian word, 'ohana (family), which is seamlessly incorporated into an English sentence. Though this word is extremely well known and likely to be understood by students from outside Hawai'i, the use of this word, when combined with the picture of a UH staff member who looks either native Hawaiian or at least Local & racially ambiguous, is meant to tug at the heart strings of Local students. They may see the word 'ohana and immediately think of their own unique Local family, and this may encourage those who haven’t yet to go and get vaccinated. Multilingual Hawaiʻi
