Throughout the Polynesian world, gender was thought of differently than in the European world. Archaeology and the gathering of 19th century stories from indigenous Hawai'ians helps reveal how gender was viewed in Hawai'i and how it was exhibited in daily life. Ultimately, these expressions of gender are intimately imbued in every aspect of the culture of Hawai'i.
