Hawaiian settlements have generally believed to have been made in the 3rd century they brought lots of farm animals with them including chickens, pigs and sheep, and other plants and animals. Once they landed on the Hawaiian shores they immediately started to move in, the men went hunting while the women stayed behind and found a reasonable place to set up camp. After a while the Polynesians came up with a name for the little cluster of Islands they had found, they named it Hawaii. Not long after the Polynesians arrived they were followed by a tribe called the Tahitians witch arrived much before the arrival of Captain Cook witch arrived a few centuries later On January 18, 1778 British Captain James Cook and his crew, while attempting to discover the Northwest passage between England and Asia, he encountered the islands and were surprised to find a Polynesian island so far north in the Pacific. He named them the "Sandwich Islands", after the fourth Earl Sandwich.

    In January of 1778, Captain Cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands. Many foreigners from around the world began to arrive, introducing many new things to the Hawaiians. Foreign influence brought trade to Hawaii, which gave Hawaiians metal and guns. Even though foreign influence had some positive effects on Hawaii, I believe that foreign influence had a negative impact on Hawaii because trade brought not only guns and metal, but it also led to famine, disease, debt, and the deaths and lessening of the Hawaiian population.…

    The concept of owning land was a completely new idea for the Hawaiian people. This "land ownership" idea was a major demand from foreigners. To the Hawaiian people, land belonged to the gods. People were not meant to own land, just care for it. Foreigners were very frustrated with the fact that they needed permission from the king to build a house, church, etc… Even then it could be revoked and the house or church would be ripped to the ground. Some of these foreigners acted as they did own the land that they lived on and expected their home governments to back them up. On November 16th, 1836 British war ships came to Hawaii with a treaty attempting to solve the land disagreements.…

    (1)In 1778 when English explorer James Cook came across the Hawaiian islands, he wasn’t aware of the battle he was bringing to the Hawaiian people. For the next 100 years the U.S., Britain, and France significantly changed Hawaii. Diseases brought by these white foreigners wiped out 75 percent of the natives and all 3 of these countries looked for ways to influence the rule of this resource rich territory. U.S. imperialists began to succeed when they got Hawaii to sign a free-trade agreement to satisfy the huge demand of sugar in the states, while benefitting the island’s sugar planters. This was a good deal until a tariff in the United States raised the price on import sugars. The U.S. then used force to implement a constitution that weakened native Hawaiian’s voting power and their economy. The ruler at the time, Queen Liliuokalani deduced that Hawaii’s main problem was foreign interference and things began to get more complicated.…

    In addition, the majority of Hawaii’s citizens, particularly the Native Hawaiians, are object to Federal Recognition. Forcing something on people who do not want it is what got us into this situation in the first place. The difference is, in this case, it is more like “I know what is good for you better than you yourself do.” That does not sit well with most people. The people have spoken, and they do not want Federal Recognition.…

    “The Aloha State” was annexed to the United States in 1959, but its history can be dated back centuries earlier. Approximately 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot in Hawaii. Hawaiian culture, a mixture of many Polynesian traditions, flourished over the centuries. The arrival of Captain James Cook, Protestant missionaries, and European diseases in the late 18th and early 19th centuries stunted the growth and development of the native Hawaiian population. Western influence continued to grow and by 1893, American colonists, who controlled much of Hawaii's economy, overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. Although many natives died in the hustle of their history, their culture lived on. When on vacationing in Hawaii, tourists can experience the vibrancy of the Hawaiian culture firsthand.…
