By B.C. Robertson

All across the Hawaiian Islands, historic statues, bronze plaques, and stone monuments can be seen in plain sight...or discovered in remote places. Each has a story. Who is responsible for placing these? What were their intentions? What do the artists say they were attempting to reveal about the honored heroes and their lives? In Remembering and Honoring Culture, Soon explores the back stories and intrigue surrounding these statues and monuments beyond what can be gleaned from the nearby plaques. Illustrated with full color photo images, the book unravels what these statues and artifacts reveal collectively about the history of the islands, its inhabitants, and their values. And most poignantly, what they tell us about Hawai'i today.
