According to Glen Luidemon: the "Kanakas were Hawaiians brought to the Pacific Northwest by the British fur hunters ca. 1810s-1840s. Many of them settled near Ft. Vancouver (Washington) and on the Lower Columbia River, often intermarrying w/ local Indians. The Owyhee (i.e. Hawaii) River and mountains of eastern Oregon and SW Idaho are named for Kanaka fur hunters. The Thompson tribe was located far to the north in British Columbia. The family in this photograph are probably related to the Tillamook or the Clatsop tribes of the NW Oregon coast.
