Book Review: Outstanding Photo Album for the Hawaiian Voice
Summary: 5 Stars
*****
This small book is a beautiful gift book for those readers who have an interest in Hawaiian history and the Hawaiian people. On the left side of each page is a beautiful black-and-white photo, and on the right side a narrative, a quote, or poem that attempts to tell the story of the wounds of the people of Hawaii---a people who were robbed of their land and their culture---tragically.
The book does not attempt to be unbiased, but purports to put forth a point of view that has not typically been heard in the past---that of a people that were disenfranchised of so much, and the effect it had upon them.
This book is unofficially a companion to the DVD by Dr. Elizabeth Kapuuwailani Lindsey, by the same title, which tells a similar story via video rather than photographs and writing. Both the book and the DVD can stand alone, however, and each are different. The similarily is that both tell the story of the Hawaiians. The author of this book, Martha K. Noyes, was the producer and writer of the DVD as well.
The choice of photographs for this book is wonderful. I highly recommend it to all those who love Hawaii.

Summary of Then There Were None
Then There Were None, by award-winning Honolulu writer and artist Martha H. Noyes, is a personal and emotional account, in words and pictures, of the effect of Western contact on the Hawaiian population. Drawing from a variety of sources, Noyes chronicles the effects, from the arrival of Capt. Cook to the present, of disease, written language, the missionaries, landownership, the overthrow of the monarchy, and the suppression of hula and Hawaiian language, concluding with a look at present-day activism. Photographs vividly contrast tourist images with scenes from the real Hawai?i and highlight the contrast between a culture rooted in cosmology and the material culture of those who made Hawai?i their own.West Books
