ハワイ語をおぼえよう！！

However, some people say that it makes sense to speak of 'local haoles' -- haoles who have grown up in Hawaiʻi and speak pidgin. Others would say that the term 'local haole' is nonsense. Another term used is kamaʻāina haole, or 'child-of-the-land' haole. Anyone born and brought up in Hawaiʻi can be a kamaʻāina. However, as the term kamaʻāina haole is often used, it implies that the person is a Hawaiian born-and-raised descendant of the New England missionaries who came to the islands in 1820.
