Summary
DescriptionHawaiian natives wearing kihei, with animals, sketch by Louis Choris.jpg
English: Hawaiian natives wearing kihei, with animals, manuscript sketch by Louis Choris. The dog in the center has been claimed as the only extant image of a Hawaiian Poi Dog by Margaret Titcomb. "The small dog, middle rear, may have had more Hawaiian than foreign blood." This assessment is supported by anthropologist Katharine Luomala who noted: "The large dog at the left looks foreign. The smaller dog by the pig somewhat recalls the odd creature in Figures 7 and 8 [other Polynesian dogs]."
