Entertaining read

Profound

An eyeopening work on American history with Native American people at the centerpiece.

I really enjoy the characters and settings.

Classic

Fun and enjoyable read

The history of ethnological museums was interesting. However, I was disappointed in his condescension and typical Western superior attitude to people from elsewhere and their right and ability to care for their own cultural resources. It was quite infuriating.

Intriguing read

She really did not like Indians or blacks. Quite eye opening. Quite the hyprocrite about work--she writes about how black people did not like to work but did none as far as I can tell. I realize I am reading this memoir through the lens of another century.

Insightful work on the challenges of translation and the potential problems of taking translated works at face value.

Excellent and eye-opening work allowing Native Hawaiian voices to speak beyond what others claim are their words.

Fascinating story.

The moving stories of two Indigenous men and their repatriations

Keep in mind that this author selectively translated and edited the legends.

A sometimes moving memoir.

Such a compelling read

Very moving; unbelievable that the very people who tried to fight evil were in the end punished for it. I cannot help but see some parallels in what is happening to my country right now (2020).

Excellent book. Very thought provoking.

A little disjointed.
Also, authors need to understand that just because someone may be have been born in Hawai'i it does not make them Hawaiian.

A wild read

A compelling read.

Eye-opening way to approach being a tourist not only in Hawai'i but elsewhere

Exciting and informative

Moving and inspiring read.

Excellent book

Illuminating read.

Enjoyable mystery with a little social commentary thrown in about the hyprocisy of high society regarding women and marriages.

Enjoyable, fun read

Fascinating

Fascinating read. A real eye-opener regarding how much we owe Byzantium.
