Hi

"Hawai'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

Wow! Thanks for telling all your friends!

Native Hawaiians are the Indigenous people. Capital N.

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