"Hawai& #39;ian" is not a word and that spelling is entirely wrong. If you see it, kindly update it and share this knowledge with others.

Hawaiian is an English word

Hawaiʻi is a word from the Indigenous language of the people of Hawaiʻi

Kanaka Māoli or Kanaka ʻŌiwi are the Indigenous people of Hawaiʻi

Native Hawaiians are the Indigenous people. Capital N.

In our Indigenous language, we are Kanaka Māoli.

Kanaka ʻŌiwi is a more poetic way of saying this bc ʻŌiwi is the bones of these lands.
