The second definition kanaka maoli----is the older definition meaning "not from here". Haole was and may still be used to describe "mainlanders" people from the main part of the USA. Haole also denotes someone of fair skin-----this definition says it is derrogatory if used in that way. With the Hawaiians, true Hawaiians that I knew, it was never taken as negative. A little story-----my daughter was just a little 2 year old with beautiful fair skin and silken blond hair------we would go to listen to the band perform in Honolulu at the noon concerts in the park. The Japanese would come up and want to take a picture of her----and touch her----never having seen a fair skinned beautiful child. mj
