Hawaii , just that word is enough to give you all the images that you need to fulfill your desires. But having only these thoughts will not give you the experience of the breathtaking views, shimmering waters, beautiful beaches, unforgettable nights and the recreational adventures. “It is a paradise not just for newly weds as many may think, but it’s also for singles families, kids and elders as well”(Patel). Many people do not know how Hawaii and its people came about on this island. “According to archeologists, the earliest settlers who sailed to Hawaii on their seaworthy double canoes are believed to have come from the Marquesas Islands of Eastern Polynesia. They arrived between 500 and 800 A.D.” (Hawaiian’s ). Hawaii was made from a water volcano that later became a beautiful island that many people go to see and have fun there. “The first Polynesians migrated from Southeast Asia as a seafaring people, who spread over an area of the globe larger than that covered by any other people until the 18th and 19th centuries, when Europeans began exploring various parts of the then known world”(Hawaiian’s). Hawaii is not just a place for Hawaiian people; many people have come and going from Hawaii. I see Hawaii to be a place that is full of religious and cultural people. Many people do not know this, but Hawaii once had its own “monarchial system that was led by a queen”(Hawaiian’s). This just shows that people who study the history of Hawaii should know that even women had the power to led a country in those times. Later as many years passed by, “Hawaii became part of America.”(Hawaiian’s). “American government went from Provisional to Republic, from republic to Territorial to Statehood in 1959”(Hawaiian’s). This quote here shows the Hawaiians become what they are today, “Engulfed in a new sea, the Hawaiian now set sail, on the merits of his rich Polynesian heritage and with new leaning, on a journey for the preservation of his life”(Hawaiian’s).
