Re: ELEM: Books about Hawaii

["'Nina' J. Chambers" <chambers@U.WASHINGTON.EDU>]

Check out Native Books, Inc. on Oahu.  They have the best current list of
Hawaiiana (books & media) that I have seen:
     Native Books, Inc.
     P.O. Box 37095
     Honolulu, Hawai'i 96837-0095
     808.845-8949
     FAX: 808.847-6637

There are a lot of great source material on Polynesian Voyaging, one of the
great technological events of human history which effected the peopling
of the Pacific.  (Also see the folllwoing for websites related to Hawaii
& the Pacific :  http://weber.u.washington.edu/~chambers/pweb.html

Native Books is a great resource for educators.  The University of Hawaii
Press may also have a catalog, but Native Books may have access to most
of that list as well.

Sincerely,
