NAIS 30.29 Introduction to Hawaiian History and Studies

This class aims to offer students a foundation in Hawaiian studies and also theoretical and methodological lessons that are portable—that is, that they can use in their other courses.

The class understands the term “Hawaiian” as it is commonly used in Hawai\u02BBi: to refer to Native Hawaiians (alternatively known as Kanaka, Kanaka Hawai\u02BBi, Kanaka Maoli, Kanaka Oiwi). Thus the course will focus on Kanaka, although students in this course will also learn much about Hawai\u02BBi that is not exclusive to Kanaka.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
