This document provides information about sights to see in Hawaii, including volcanoes and lava tubes on the Big Island, black sand beaches at Punalu'u, the Battleship Missouri Memorial at Pearl Harbour in Oahu, and the Road to Hana in Maui. It also discusses the Hawaiian language and alphabet, hula dancing culture, and wishes the reader a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Hawaiian.
The document provides an overview of Hawaiian culture, including its foundations in the concept of "Aloha Aina" which regards the land as sacred. It discusses the Hawaiian language, traditional foods brought by early Polynesian settlers, and important cultural traditions like hula dancing, chanting and music. Images throughout depict sacred Hawaiian sites, native plants, traditional crafts, foods and cultural performances that remain an important part of honoring Hawaiian heritage today.
Ancient Polynesians first arrived in Hawaii around 300 AD via ocean voyages. They developed a stratified society and religion centered around various gods. Their culture was expressed through hula dancing, chants, and instruments made from native materials. While Western influence introduced new instruments like the ukulele, traditional and contemporary Hawaiian music preserves their cultural heritage.
This document provides an overview of the Hawaiian language, including its history, current status, grammar and pronunciation. It notes that Hawaiian was the primary language of Hawaii but began declining in the 19th century when English was imposed in schools. By the 1980s a revival movement began establishing immersion schools. The document also highlights some unique aspects of Hawaiian such as having only 12 letters, distinguishing singular, dual and plural forms, and being analyzed rather than inflected. It concludes with some fun cultural notes about Hawaiian words and place names.
This document discusses Hawaiian culture through several topics:
- Hawaii has a sacred culture centered around music, singing, dancing, ceremonies, food, and their people.
- The lei flower is unique to Hawaii and can have unlimited designs in its creation.
- Traditional Hawaiian cloaks and headgear featured bright colors and textures from tropical bird feathers.
Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa defended the county's handling of sacred rocks from Iao Valley that were mistakenly transported to a landfill. While a county spokesperson had previously apologized, Arakawa said there is no such thing as sacred rocks in Christianity and that concerns over the rocks were being raised by "political wannabes". Arakawa's comments generated controversy as Native Hawaiians consider Iao Valley to be sacred ground.
During a psychology class we were asked to present a project on a culture of our choice. My choice of Hawaii was mostly because of the seperated culture between the U.S. and the last state of Hawaii.

This document summarizes a manuscript conservation project carried out by Ka `Imi Na`auao O Hawai`i Nei to preserve two late 19th century Hawaiian language manuscripts. The manuscripts were handwritten accounts of Kauai's land, climate and history given to Roselle Bailey in 1979 to preserve the culture. After physical stabilization, each page was scanned to enable study without handling. Translations were sought from scholars. The manuscripts were then sent to UH Manoa for professional conservation before being returned to Kauai.

The Kumulipo is an ancient Hawaiian chant that details the genealogy and creation of Hawaii according to their oral tradition. It divides history into 16 periods and traces the lineage of Papahanaumoku (Earth Mother) and Wākea (Sky Father) whose union created the Hawaiian islands and people. Their firstborn was a premature fetus named Hāloanakalaukapalili which became the first kalo plant, and their second born was the first Hawaiian man, Hāloa. The kalo plant and Hawaiian people are considered siblings and the kalo holds cultural significance as the main sustenance crop and source of the Hawaiian word for family, ʻohana.

Hawaii is a U.S. state located in the Pacific Ocean about 2,000 miles from the mainland United States. It is the only island state and the only state located in the tropics. Captain James Cook was the first to discover Hawaii. The Hawaiian language is spoken by about 2,000 native speakers and was first developed into a written form by American Protestant missionaries in the 1820s. Some of the top private schools in Hawaii are located in Honolulu, Kailua, and Mililani according to rankings that consider factors like college readiness and student-teacher ratios. The cuisine of Hawaii is a fusion of foods from around the world, and traditional Hawaiian foods include poi made from pounded tar
Honolulu, Hawaii is the capital of the state of Hawaii. The author took a trip there in July 2016, flying from New York to Atlanta to Hawaii, which took about 10 hours. The flight attendants on the Delta Airlines flight were very friendly and attentive. When the plane landed, the author was struck by the beautiful island landscape seen from the window.
This document discusses important concepts in Hawaiian culture, including names, genealogy, and the creation story of Hawai'i. It explains that names carry great importance and meaning. Genealogy helps determine rank and status, and the firstborn child called hiapo had important responsibilities including knowing the family history. The creation story involves Papa and Wākea giving birth to the islands and the first man, Hāloa, establishing a kinship between Hawaiians and the land that is their source of sustenance.
#INDG2015 Week 11 November 18: Introduction to Environmental Knowledges in Oc...Zoe Todd
This week's readings for the Indigenous Ecological Knowledges class covered topics related to Oceania and the Pacific, including:
- Alice Te Punga Somerville's discussion of Māori identities as both indigenous to Aotearoa and with ancestral connections to broader Pacific homelands
- Tracey Banivanua Mar's examination of the histories of imperialism in the Pacific region following World War 2 and the impacts on indigenous peoples and territories.
The class also discussed readings from Kimmerer on traditional ecological knowledges of salmon and forest ecosystems among indigenous communities in North America. A final reflection question prompted students to consider how issues raised in the readings could provide insight when thinking about topics explored regarding other
This document discusses the development of astronomy facilities on sacred Hawaiian summits of Haleakala and Mauna Kea. It notes that 40 years ago, Native Hawaiians agreed to share the summits with astronomers on the promise of protecting fragile ecosystems and cultural sites, but now more industrial development is proposed. The document expresses concerns about this increased development and lack of addressing issues meaningfully with Native Hawaiians. It recommends forming a committee and mediator to discuss concerns with government and university officials over further construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope and Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope.
The document summarizes the Hawaiian creation myth of Hāloa as told in the Kumulipo epic chant. It describes how Papahānaumoku (Earth Mother) and Wākea (Sky Father) gave birth to the Hawaiian islands and people. Their daughter Hoʻohōkūkalani later gave birth to twins - the first was Hāloanakalaukapalili, who was buried and from whom grew the first kalo plant, and the second was a healthy child named Hāloa, considered the first Hawaiian man. Hāloa and the kalo are seen as the elder and younger siblings of Hawaiians, with humans having the responsibility to care for the land
Hawaii is the 50th and most recent state to join the United States. It is an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean comprised of over 100 islands, the largest being Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and Molokai. Hawaii's capital and largest city is Honolulu. The state's economy relies heavily on tourism, with attractions including volcanoes, beaches, and lush tropical scenery drawing millions of visitors each year.
The group's objective is to maintain and promote the continuation of the Hawaiian culture of traditional practices. The group volunteered at the Ka ‘Umeke Ka’eo Hawaiian Immersion Charter School for chants, practical knots, the basic operation of sailings, and more. The group incorporated the voyaging skills and way of living that they learned into the curriculum.
Lovely Hula Hands: Traditional or WesternizedMichel Winge
Hula is a traditional Hawaiian dance form that conveys Hawaiian history, culture, and identity. While hula was suppressed by missionaries in the 1800s who saw it as immoral, King Kalakaua helped revive the dance in 1874. The rise of tourism in Hawaii in the 1900s popularized hula globally but also led to more westernized, commercialized versions. Today, hula exists in both ancient ("kahiko") and modern ("auana") styles and continues to educate people about Hawaiian culture, such as through the prestigious Merrie Monarch Festival starting in 1963. Hula remains a dynamic art form that adapts while preserving Hawaiian traditions.
The document summarizes Hawaiian creation myths and the origins of the Hawaiian people according to the Kumulipo epic chant. It describes how Papahānaumoku (Earth Mother) and Wākea (Sky Father) gave birth to the Hawaiian islands and people. It then focuses on the myth of Hāloa, in which Papa and Wākea's daughter Hoʻohōkūkalani gave birth to twins - the first was Hāloanakalaukapalili, who was buried and from whom grew the first kalo plant, and the second was Hāloa, who was the first Hawaiian man. The kalo plant and 'ohana (family) are seen as
Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands and is a popular tourist destination. Agriculture and tourism are the two major industries. The island saw rapid population growth from 1950 to 2010, especially in towns like Kīhei. Popular tourist attractions include Haleakalā National Park, the Hāna Highway, and Lahaina. However, overdevelopment and loss of tourism revenue due to economic factors have become concerns for local residents and environmentalists.
The document is a resume for Joia Holman that outlines her extensive education and experience in environmental science, Hawaiian culture and spirituality, photography, and wildlife conservation.
