Thread Name: EFDSS book John Kanakanaka
Subject: RE: EFDSS book John Kanakanaka
The Kanakas were also "blackbirded" to Australia, to slave away on sugar cane farms and the like, in Australia's early ("white") history. I think (?) they were more from the Soloman Islands area ... many of their descendants form part of Queensland's multicultural population today.
