Kanaka is from the Hawaiian language and means human being. It is referenced to Hawaiians of Polynesian ancestry or more broadly to any Polynesian person. If you are from one of those more than 80 Pacific Island nations in that link you would fall into that category.Not Samoan though. Kanakas were Melanesian not Polynesian.
