Original illustrations by Nancy Middlesworth, former Kamehameha Schools graphic artist, further enhance the text.Resource Units in Hawaiian Culture is only one among many contributions that Dr. Mitchell made to the perpetuation of Hawaiian knowledge and skill. He wrote two other books, Hawaiian Games for Today (1975) and Hawaiian Treasures (1978).In addition, he wrote numerous articles for magazines, journals, and newspapers; conducted hundreds of workshops for educators; lectured to thousands of individuals; and taught and served as a guiding force in Hawaiian studies programs at Kamehameha for nearly sixty years. Before his death in 1989, Dr. Mitchell had substantially completed his fourth book, Ku Kilakila ?O Kamehameha (1993). This book documents the construction and expansion of Kamehameha's facilities at various sites over the last more than 100 years.Kamehameha Schools Press is proud to publish a work that is certain to continue to be an invaluable resource for all who seek a deeper understanding of the rich heritage of the Hawaiian people.
