I was recently reading, "The Sound of Rattles and Clappers, A Collection of New California Indian Writing," when I came across a story about a group of Hawaiians that wrecked their canoe on the coast of California. The author Daryl Babe Wilson was told the story by Craven Gibson a very old grandfather of the Pit River Nation in 1971. The Hawaiians spent many years in California before returning home to Hawaii with some of their wives and children they had with the A-juma-wi people in northeastern California. There is no mention of Europeans being around at the time this happened.
Are there any stories in Hawaii describing such an event?
Dennis Kamakahi probably knows details about this. He has told me stories related to him by Native Americans in Washington of finding Hawaiian canoe remnants that were here long before Europeans. He's reguarly on the TP and may respond to this thread. His TP login is naukilo. He loves to talk about this stuff; email him with topic.
