Ohana! I saw this sign at the mall and thought it was very cute! This is a nice sign to put up in a family home for decorations. It was being displayed on when of the stands at the mall. GM

JP Here, Pidgin is being used on kitchen towels in a home goods store in Kahala Mall. The use of Pidgin here helps to convey a friendly and even humorous message for anyone who might be using the towels am their kitchen.

Mahalo! I saw this sign at the mall at one of the stands by the food court. This is a great sign to decorate a house with, especially at the door to tell guests to take off shoes. GM

JP This is a picture of a T-shirt in a local surf shop in Kahala mall with a message written in Pidgin. The domain is closest to advertisement. The Pidgin is on a T-shirt, therefore indication that the shirt is marketed towards those who might appreciate the message and usage of Pidgin

“But no take mo bettah ones when you leave” I saw this sign in the mall in a stand by the food courts. It had both Hawaiian and Pidgin in it. GM

I saw this sign in the Hamilton library while I was sitting at one of the tables. I believe it’s saying the protocols of masking and what do to if you sneeze in the library. This sign is from the center for Hawaiian language. GM

I saw this sign when I was adventuring out! They are trying to get people to buy the product shown in the image- it was stated in pidgin, the we’re trying to get a specific audience to buy the product- they left a name and number to call if you are interested in the product. I found this poster very interesting! GM

This image is a little blurry but I was on the bus and it started to move so this was the best picture I could get! I believe it’s saying something about health / groceries because behind the poster was the market / grocery store. GM

AJR - Check in #2. The brand “Dakine” found in Ala Moana Shopping Center is quite popular both in the United States and across the globe. I would say that initially, the targeted audience was locals but after gaining the popularity it did, I think this has changed. I’m not sure what the history behind this company is but they seem to be profiting off of the common Pidgin word

AJR - Check in #2. This license plate cover was found in the apparel store T&C. The language exhibited is primarily Pidgin. I would say the intended audience is both locals and non-locals, given that it is in the mall in a popular apparel store that anyone can shop at. Promoting the sale of products like this that use Pidgin draws a very fine line between promoting local pride and cultural appropriation

AJR - Check in #2. This picture shows the use of the Pidgin phrase “Howzit,” followed by “The Aloha Movement” on a sticker. Similar to my previous photo, this was also found in the T&C apparel store and again draws a very fine line between promoting local identity and cultural appropriation. I think what would make this sticker lean more towards promoting local pride would be if it were sold in a local store outside of the mall. By doing this, it would change the intended audience and gear it more towards locals rather than tourists.
