Kānaka Maoli, I have also read about a Tongan origin. Dana called them Kānaka’s in “Two Years Before The Mast.” There are very few “blue-blooded” Kānaka Maoli’s left. The term Native Hawaiian is Haole-speak.
I should go visit a related Genome Project site and catch up on some of the updates of migratory dispersion patterns of the races.
