First Hawaiian in the Pacific NW

The Imperial Eagle 1787 off Ka'ena Point

So, turns out that a Hawaiian woman named Winee was the first Sandwich Islander to be recorded in the NW around 1788. She arrived on the British Ship The Imperial Eagle, with captain Charles Barclay. Winee was aquired as a "companion/servant" for his wife Francis. Short post, but an important one. Winee was the first Native Hawaiian to be documented leaving the Islands.
