Kanakas
The Kanakas were workers from various Pacific Islands employed under varying conditions in various European colonies, such as Fiji, Queensland (Australia) and British Columbia (Canada), in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term Kanaka is generally regarded as outdated and inaccurate, and was not used by many of the people concerned.
