The Kamakas Of Waikane

This is a powerful story of the Kamaka family of Waikane, Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii, principally of the dynamic twelve siblings who lived between 1898 and 1994. And there are excursions of the story that touches on the next generation of Native Hawaiians who were hapa children, some of whom went on to live productive lives while a very few did not, but all of whom were privileged to spend their formative years in Waikane. The narrative records the remembrances of incredible people with social, political and economic commentary on the challenges of the times. But it is foremost a story of the amazing Kamaka generation of Native Hawaiians, and those Native Hawaiians of their time, who are the last of genuine Native Hawaiians who lived their culture, spoke their language and cherished their traditions. It is a story that cannot go unrecorded.
