Hawaiian Ethnographic notes, or HEN, are ethnographic notes that Native Hawaiian scholars (mainly Tutu Puku’i) composed and transcribed. The materials include newspaper articles that were written in Hawaiian between 1860 and 1840. Although one can browse the data base and search by heading, source, author, or key word, the materials “live” at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu and can only be accessed by physically visiting the Library and Archives during public hours (Wednesday through Friday noon to 4 PM and Saturday, 9 AM to noon).
In the Bishop Museum Archives, I did a quick search by author – I input the name Puku’i, and was astounded to discover no less than 2021 entries made by our Tutu. Isn’t that something? What a truly amazing woman she was.
