"Keiki is one of the most well known Hawaiian words used by people that live or come to visit the Hawaiian islands. The word Keiki is another word for children, kids, younger family members, students, and other words relating to youth. When it comes to understanding culture and what means to respect and take care of keiki, it can relate toward the understanding of our language rights as a whole. Using the word keiki in Hawaii can show that one has lived here for a long time and has adapted to using this words rather than its English counterpart. Adapting words from either Pidgin or Hawaiian language and adding then to one's daily vocabulary shows that right to adapt a culture as a whole and respect where you are or where you live. Just like the sticker says "Keiki On Board" we should be cautious of our language rights just like how we should be cautious when seeing a car with the sticker "Keiki on Board.""
