I have a few pedantic criticisms of the article. I'm not a local to Kaua'i, but I've lived there a long time. The article uses the correct spelling of Moloka'i

I have a few pedantic criticisms of the article. I'm not a local to Kaua'i, but I've lived there a long time.
The article uses the correct spelling of Moloka'i, but incorrect spelling of Kauai and Hawaii, which should be Kaua'i and Hawai'i. The ' symbol is an actual letter in the Hawai'ian language. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOkina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOkina
The article mentions Luke growing taro [1] and their daughter mostly eating poi [2], but it doesn't explain that poi is the mashed taro root, usually fermented.
1. “The only real success I’ve had is taro,” Luke says.
2. ... Finley, subsists largely on homegrown poi.

Colloquially and formally, the forms have long been used interchangeably.”
