My School Work This is a research I did about Hawaii on the internet, so if you have any error, please correct me. Location Hawaii is one of the fifty states of the United States of America. It is located in the Pacific Ocean and consists of eight islands of volcanic origin. The capital of Hawaii is Honolulu. The history of Hawaii The archipelago called Hawaii, was only established as an American state in 1959. Before that, it was an independent native kingdom, then in 1894 became a republic until it was invaded and occupied by the United States in 1898, and attached to the country. Many Hawaiians not quite swallowed the episode and even today the old King Kamehameha is honored in the town of Kona, on the Big Island, the first island to be populated. Natives The natives of Hawaii have brown skin, slanted eyes and use language or local expressions. Hawaiians are friendly by nature, always with welcome greetings (ALOHA) and thanks (MAHALO). They are relaxed, informal and very polite. Hula hula the 'hula' is not just a dance, but a lifestyle based on traditions and ancient religions. The corners and rhythm varieties allude to nature. Each movement refers to a natural element - from mountains to the ocean waves - and also to human emotions such as love and anger. Today, there are at least three types of hula: the oldest, the most modern and the mixture of the two. Sport People enjoy outdoor activities during all seasons. water sports like surfing, body boarding, body surfing and diving are among the most popular activities. Volcanoes All Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanoes and the area increases in length every day because of the constant eruptions. Five volcanoes have shaped the island: Kohala (now extinct); Mauna Kea (at rest); Hualalai (at rest); Mauna Loa (active); Kilauea (fully active) - this latter located in Volcanoes National Park, is considered the most active volcano in the world.
