Kiana: A Tradition of Hawaii is a book written by James J. Jarves that explores the history and culture of Hawaii through the eyes of Kiana, a young Hawaiian girl. The book is set in the 19th century and follows Kiana as she grows up and learns about her family's traditions and customs, as well as the history of her people. The story is told through a series of vignettes that highlight important moments in Kiana's life, such as her first hula lesson, her first visit to the beach, and her first encounter with missionaries. Along the way, the reader learns about the Hawaiian language, religion, and social structure, as well as the impact of colonization and westernization on the island. The book is beautifully illustrated with drawings and photographs of Hawaiian landscapes, people, and artifacts, making it a visually stunning and informative read for anyone interested in Hawaiian history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
