Hawaii Volcanoes National Park History

Many Native Hawaiian people have lost touch with their culture. Many people around the world don’t know about the unique Hawaiian culture. People in America don’t know a lot about these unique Hawaiian arts either. Many of the old Hawaiian traditions were lost because foreigners took over the Hawaiian islands and banned many Hawaiian traditions that have been going on for decades. This loss of culture was devastating for the people and was hard to gain back after almost being completely eliminated. To teach new generations about the old Hawaiian culture, this research paper will detail what it was like years ago. It will also explain why the Hawaiian culture and traditions should be reinstated. This paper will explain how the traditions

How would you like to live on the side of a volcano? On The Big Island of Hawaii, people can experience this during their vacation at KMC, a military camp located near the volcano Kilauea. There are currently three active volcanoes in the state of Hawaii, all of them being on or very close to the Big Island. Mauna Loa is the oldest of them, Kilauea is the most active, and Loihi is so young in comparison to the others that it hasn’t even breached the ocean’s surface.

Hawaii is well known for its beauty. But behind its tropical mountains, oceans, and its sacred places, lies the spirits of life and death. There are many well known myths and legends in the island of Hawaii, but what most people don 't realize, is that those myths and legends are altered everyday. Huaka‘i po, or as today known as the Night Marchers, are ancient Hawaiian spirits, who still roam the tropics till this very day. My family is very familiar with the Hawaiian stories and beliefs, but the story that fascinated all of us, were the stories of the Night Marchers. A well known historian by the name of Glen Grant, published and posted stories that he collected all around the Hawaiian islands. Amazingly, he collected

President K. Polk being a fair and a smart man had many successes including the promotion of the Manifest Destiny’s policies. One of which including the negotiation possession of the Oregon Territory from the British. Also was able to buy what is now California and New Mexico, gaining all this land after the Mexican-American war. Although he had many other successes, he also had his flaws one of which was when he was running for reelection in 1841. It was not a good time for a Democrat, due to the country being in depression and the bank with many failures.

Hawaii’s culture is about 1500 years old. The culture started when Polynesians voyaged to Hawaii and settled there. Hawaiian culture is based on three main aspects. Food such as broiling pig, taro and banana. Dance including the hula or as it was traditionally called Kahiko and warfare/weapons examples including the Koa and different forms of training and attach techniques. These three aspects will come to be the backbone of Hawaiian culture.

Kumulipo is a Hawaiian chant that describes the story of creation along with a genealogy of Hawaiian royalty. This story was brought to Hawaii by the marriage of two people, Pi 'ikea and ‘Umi. During the time of the formation of this myth Hawaiia was under the authority of a corrupt monarchy, and the dominant religion on the island was Roman Catholicism. It was first printed in 1889, at the time it was in possession of the ruling king, Kalakaua. The story of creation is told by a series of 16 chants, many containing multiple parts. Through those 16 chants it is revealed that Po’ele was Kumulipo’s wife and they had a child named Pouliuli. According to the story, this is how the creation of the world began. The origin of man was connected to

Primarily, this myth contains a religious function. This would be because the Hawaiian people believe volcanoes to be spiritual sites in which they can reconnect to Pele, the Goddess of Fire and Lava. Gifts are even brought to the volcanoes to honor Pele and thank her for continuing to spew lava from the volcanoes and expand upon the Hawaiian Islands. Pele’s myth is also Expressive – Hawaiians continue to tell stories about Pele and her creation of the volcanoes as a way of connecting to their culture and spirituality. The myth reads very much like a story, so it is easy for people to verbally pass on the myth. This myth has inspired so many different aspects of Hawaiian culture such as songs, art, culture, and dance because of Pele and the Hawaiian people’s devotion to serving her. In Arlo H. Nimmo’s book, Pele, Ancient Goddess of Contemporary Hawaii, he talks about an interesting myth in modern Hawaiian culture about the volcanic eruptions in Hawaii and the presence of Pele. Nimmo states, “When a volcano erupts on the island of Hawaii, stories invariably begin to circulate about persons who have seen a Hawaiian woman who displayed behavior mysterious enough to convince them she was Pele (Nimmo). This is just one example of many ways that Pele and her presence continues to influence the culture of Hawaii. Pele’s myth is clearly a manifest myth, as it easily explains the purpose within the story without having to add in any hidden context or meanings. There are no hidden meanings or hidden symbols in this story; everything is laid out in front of

According to Dictionary.com, uniqueness means it’s “existing as the only one or as the sole example; single; solitary in type or characteristics, or having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable.” Each place is unique in its own way. Some people compare countries alike but really there’s always one thing that distinguishes them from each other. One place on earth that is unique is the state of Hawai’i, from the highest peaks of the mountains to every little grain on the sandy seashores. What makes this place even more unique is that, in the state, there are eight more islands that have as its own individual way of being unique.

I am very sorry but I will not be able to visit you in North America for quite sometime, because I will be on the Hawaiian Islands for at least 3 more years. These past 10 months away have been quite enjoyable. There are groves of coconut trees spiraled up and interlaced which looked like concrete pillars. I especially adore the crisp salty sensation in the air and the aquamarine clear ocean which looks like glass. The homes that the Hawaiians live in were simple they are made from dry grass and long thick sticks. During my stay in Hawaii, I have become very tan from the blazing sun which melted my skin. If you saw me today you wouldn’t be able to recognize my face, for I am no longer pale, my skin is a deep shade of bronze. When I first
