Seattle: Native Hawai'ians in the Pacific Northwest

Wing Luke Asian Museum

On display through August 16, 2009

Native Hawai'ians in the Pacific Northwest

A groundbreaking exhibit for both the Wing Luke Asian Museum and the Asian Pacific Islander American community, Ho’omau ka Huaka’i, The Voyage Continues explores the experiences of Native Hawai’ians in the Pacific Northwest from past to present day. Themes include the Native Hawai’ians’ pioneer history as the first Asian Pacific Islander group in the Pacific Northwest, the rich contributions of Native Hawai’ians in Washington State for the past 200 years, the community formed to preserve their rich cultural traditions and the legacies they leave for future generations.

don't go out of your way to see this exhibit. there are not many artifacts, and very sparse information about actual PNW Hawaiians living here now.

honestly, most of us have more hawaiiana in our homes, than this display.
