Description
Nanea brings these prized items with her almost everywhere she goes. This set includes:
- A necklace of pretty speckled-blue faux nerite shells
- A cloth handbag made of palaka, a popular fabric worn by Hawaiian plantation workers
- An “airmail” envelope and letter from Nanea’s friend Donna, whose family had to return to the mainland
- Pretend money; during the war, money in Hawaii had the word “Hawaii” stamped on one side
- The fabric ID pouch Nanea made herself
- A pretend government-issued ID card with her name, address, and fingerprints—all islanders had to carry these during the war
- A square Pearl Harbor remembrance kerchief
- A doll-sized Junior Citizens Service Corps book that details how girls like Nanea could help with the war effort in their community
