Hawaii is a group of 18 islands in the Pacific Ocean that form a state of the United States. The two main languages spoken are Hawaiian and English. Traditional Hawaiian houses were huts made of natural materials, but now homes are typically skyscrapers and houses made of modern materials like glass, bricks, and concrete. Some traditional Hawaiian foods include poi made from taro root, laulau made with pork wrapped in taro leaves, and kalua pig which is slow-roasted pork with a smoky flavor. Traditional clothes incorporated grass skirts, kapa cloth, and feathered attire before being influenced by European fashion.
