(SP) (Check in #2) This is a photo of a non-permanent painted phrase “E komo mai” on the outside of a student market (educational/restaurant domain). It is mostly directed towards Locals or those who are more familiar with the Hawaiian language. It’s painted in big bright “welcome”ing letters to help the students feel more happy and at home. It is also likely meant to connect the market, and in turn the school, to Hawai'i and make it feel more Local, especially when combined with iconic Hawaiian things such as a wave and pua melia.

(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.
