(SP) (Check in #2) This is a non permanent installation of informational posters written completely in Hawaiian, found in a university library (education domain/also public health domain?). This is intended mostly for speakers of Hawaiian, although the accompanying graphics helps get the point across even for speakers of other languages. This is the first time I’ve seen important public health information provided purely in Hawaiian, so one could say that these posters were made as a sort of statement protesting the idea that only English is appropriate for official announcements like public health, since Hawaiian is an official language of Hawai'i too and should be treated as such.

(SP) (Check in #2) This is a permanent la informational sign found in an important park and cultural site on Oahu. The majority of the sign is written in English since this park is a population tourist location, so they want the sign to be as readable as possible for a wide range of tourists. However, many Hawaiian words are added alongside their translation to educate tourists and help them become more familiar with less known Hawaiian words that are especially important at this historical and cultural site.

(SP) (Check in #2) This is a semi permanent vinyl banner seen outside a resident’s home (residential domain). It says “kū kia'i mauna” or “guardians of the mountain”, which is a slogan associated with the movement against the construction of an observatory on Mauna Kea. This is sign is likely directed towards Locals or residents who are familiar with current events in Hawai'i. Bright red and yellow colors are used to emphasize the issue, express their anger, and associate itself with Hawai'i’s history.
