The journals kept by Captain Cook and various members of his crew record many instances where English and kanaka maoli misunderstood one another. It is argued that these misunderstandings were due, in part, to philosophical differences in kanaka maoli and English views of exchange and the rights properly exercised with respect to the things they exchanged.
