More About Hawaiian History
The history of Hawaii as we know it begins over 1,500 years ago with the first wave of Polynesian settlers arriving from the Marquesas Islands. It’s believed that a second wave of settlers then arrived around 800 years ago from the Society Islands. These Polynesian immigrants brought with them their unique customs, traditions, and language, which later evolved into a distinct Hawaiian culture. They also brought livestock and plants crucial for their survival on the island, such as pigs, chickens, coconuts, taro, sweet potatoes, bananas, and sugarcane.
In the late 1700s, the Hawaiian Islands came under the control of a monarchy led by the Kamehameha dynasty, which lasted almost 100 years until its disruption by Western influence. European and American business people, lawyers, and missionaries arrived on the islands, which in turn led to the loss of Hawaiian sovereignty and the eventual annexation of Hawaii to the United States.
Despite heavy westernization, Hawaii retains many of its important historical and cultural traditions, such as storytelling, dance, music, and food. To this day, Hawaiian culture still emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with the natural world, fostering strong communities, and the Aloha spirit.
