The Niihau dialect has continued from ancient times relatively unchanged. It contains the very codes to a Hawaiian perspective that can be obtained only by close association with native speakers. "Aloha Niihau" seeks to help students of Hawaiian increase their knowledge and understanding of the culture and language. For the Niihau community, this text will help to preserve the oral histories of Niihau in their important native dialect. 1680801 1 4 2007 Aloha Niihau/ Oral Histories total:1|3:1| 1 3 1 0 1684194 1597002097 9781597002097 1 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186845366m/1684194.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1684194.Aloha_Niihau_Oral_Histories 3 0 false Sun Mar 01 12:30:41 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 10:26:23 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1684194
