46060	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47340	United States Honolulu	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.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46061	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47341	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46062	United States Honolulu	HC Domain: Bathroom anti-smoking sign Purpose: To say, "thank you for not smoking" Intended Audience: Bathroom patrons Print: Vinyl sticker Message: "Thank you for not smoking"	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46063	United States Honolulu	“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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46064	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46065	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46066	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46067	United States Honolulu	I was browsing target and saw another section of pidgin cards. I liked how it showed the different holidays and days! GM	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46068	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46069	United States Honolulu	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	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47349	United States Honolulu	Collection of stickers found on the bottom of the door of a running store	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47605	United States Honolulu	two hands holding up Hawaiian "ola i ka wai" and in the hands is written "water is life" (left) and "let us live" (right)	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47350	United States Honolulu	A sticker for sale at a vegan donut store in Ward.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46071	United States Honolulu	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.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47351	United States Honolulu	Top left: Da Pidgin Institute of Hawaiʻi shirt plays off of the UH logo and colors to legitimize Pidgin as something worthy of being studied in the academy.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
46072	United States Honolulu	The domain in particular is for UH Manoa students and also locals who care about the sacred land of Hawaii. It is meant to get the attention of locals and students who may know about the TMT on Maunakea. The Hawaiian in this protests against the building of the thirty meter telescope. ‘A‘ole means to deny and refuse to do a thing so in this case it refuses the building of the TMT. The intended audience is locals, Hawaiians, scientists, people who advocate for the building to sway their opinion. It is printed on cardboard. Again, the implied message is to say no to the building of TMT as it will destroy the sacred land of the Hawaiians. - CQ	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47352	United States Honolulu	“Try wait I gotta go Shishi” — “Please wait. I need to go pee.”	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
