Hawaii
Hawaii. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, far from any land, there are the Hawaiian Islands.
These islands are the tops of a chain of volcanic mountains. Two volcanoes on the island of Hawaii
are still active. There are five larger islands. Kauai is to the west. Oahu, Molokai, and Maui
are in the middle. And Hawaii is to the east. There are three smaller islands. Hawaii is the
largest island of the group, but Oahu has the largest population. The capital city, Honolulu,
is on Oahu. Since the Hawaiian islands are so far from any land, one might wonder how people
arrived there. The answer is that the first Hawaiians were very good sailors. They traveled
thousands of miles from other islands in the Pacific in canoes. To keep these canoes stable
in the ocean, they attached an out-trigger, or pontoon, to the main canoe. Sometimes they
fasten two canoes together and put a wooden platform on top. Then they could carry lots
of people and supplies. The first Hawaiians were Polynesians and probably came from the Marquesas
and Tahiti in the South Pacific. They were a tall, good-looking people. Their kings made rules about
how their people should live, and priests and advisors called kahunas enforced these. Today,
the phrase the big kahuna means someone who is or thinks he is very important. Although Hawaii
lies within the tropics, it has a very mild climate. Sea breezes keep the weather from getting
too hot, even in the summer. Many edible plants grow in abundance there, so it was not difficult
for the Hawaiians to live very comfortably without working hard. Captain Cook was the first European
to reach Hawaii in 1778.
Soon, European and American ships visited there regularly.
The sailors also brought diseases formerly unknown.
By 1853, the population had dropped to 73,000
from about 300,000 when Cook visited in 1778.
Besides Europeans, people from China, Japan,
and the Philippines came to live there.
Soon, large plantations of sugar cane and pineapples developed.
As more and more land came under Western control, the native monarchy was undermined.
American plantation owners were able to arrange for United States control of the islands.
Today, the largest industry is tourism.
Since the climate is good all year round, visitors can come at any time.
When you arrive, a young Hawaiian woman will greet you.
She will put a beautiful flower necklace called a lei around your neck.
Hula dancers entertain tourists.
Hula dancers wear skirts made of long leaves.
Each dancer tells a story by moving their arms and hands in a certain way.
For meals, the Hawaiians like to dig a pit in the ground,
place wood in the pit, and then set the wood on fire.
Food wrapped in leaves is then placed on the wood,
and the pit is covered with leaves and mats.
A feast cooked this way is called a luau.
These traditions nowadays are usually performed for tourists or on special holidays.
Hawaii is the 50th state of the United States,
and its people enjoy all the advantages of the modern world.
