Easter Island, one of Western Chile’s best kept secrets has become one of todays most popular tourist destinations with nearly 900+ Maoi statues dominating the island terrain. Although today, Easter Island is home to upwards of 2,500 people, it wasn’t always this way. It is said that Easter Island was first discovered around 300-400 A.D. according to History.com with other sources claiming as late as 1200 A.D. When settlers first began to invade the island, nearly 16 million trees spanned the island ranging in heights some towering upwards of 100 feet; today the island has a pathetically low number, some estimate as low as one or two.

While trying to figure out what research topic I would like to explore I considered many options including mental disorders and adoption. Although they would have been interesting topics to pursue, I did not feel they were the right topic for me and they did not feel they were very pertinent to my life. I had spent a great deal of time anticipating my trip to Hawaii in the months prior to writing this paper, and I realized that I really did not know very much about Hawaiian culture and history. So there I had it, the perfect topic. My paper would be about Hawaiian culture, legends, and traditions.…
I have spent days in the Hawaiian Islands educating Hawaiians about Christianity and it is no vacation. I have grown taller from when you have last seen me, but I do look very different. My hair is now a light brown from the exposure of the scorching sun, my body has become frail and scrawny from the lack of food and nutrients on my journey, and my attitude towards events has changed and I am more aware and sensitive to my peers aboard the ship. I have suffered sea sickness and have witnessed many deaths while sailing to the island, either from the lack of food or health. Here in the Hawaiian islands isn’t all that bad though. I have met many friendly Hawaiians and we are slowly starting to understand each other. However, aside from the welcoming Hawaiians, the scenery is something that is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I could have spent my whole day here with my hands and feet engulfed into the grainy sand while watching the sparkling, blue…
“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.…
