This is issue number 30 of the Pacific Anthropological Records, which is published by the Department of Anthropology of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. It gives a complete historical perspective of the Hawaiian dance form known as the hula. The Hawaiians had no writing - their history was entirely oral.
Source material is scarce.
You have to have this book if you are interested in hula. Although they are all post-missionary songs and many of the melodies are based on hymns, very few of the songs are religious in nature. Hawaiians enjoy writing about love, so 29 of them are love songs. These songs form a very representative sample of Hawaiian music from about 1850 to 1968. Many are widely preformed today.
