History of Hawaii

Anthropologists believe that Polynesians from the Marquesas and Society Islands first populated the Hawaiian Islands in approximately AD 300, followed by Tahitian settlers in approximately AD 1300 who conquered and eliminated the original inhabitants of the islands. These Tahitian conquerors preserved memories of their migrations orally through genealogies and folk tales, like the stories of Hawai?iloa and Pa?ao. Relations with other Polynesian groups were sporadic during the early migratory periods, and Hawai?i grew from small settlements to a complex society in near isolation. more...

Geography of Hawaii

Hawaii is the only U.S. state that is surrounded by water. It is one of two states that do not share a border with another U.S. state (Alaska being the other). It is the southernmost part of the United States. In addition to possessing the southernmost point in the United States, it is the only state that lies completely in the tropics. One of two states outside the contiguous United States, it is the only state without territory on the mainland of any continent. It is also the only state that continues to grow in area because of active extrusive lava flows, most notably from Kilauea. Because it has more endangered species per square mile than anywhere else, Hawaii is considered the endangered species capital of the world. more...
