Noa Fujitani Taiyo Williamson Hawaiian Whaler Diary Oct. 21, 1851 Today was weirdly exotic. I was going out to the dock at the crack of dawn to unload our materials from the trip that we took. The dock was cracked and had algae stains everywhere I looked. I saw more and different Hawaiians getting paid to refit our ships because the only reason we are here is because of our ship. As I walked closer to them, I saw that they were actually making a lot from our captain. He was practically bankrupt

Hawaiians worshiped many gods and goddesses. A few of the most important were K, ne (the creator), K, (god of war and politics), and Lono (god of agriculture, fertility, and peace). The annual harvest festival, Makahiki, welcomed Lono back to the earth to renew its fertility.

The goddess P?le, the most well-known Hawaiian deity outside the islands

Hawaiians have experienced difficulty with understanding their identity since the arrival of the first haoles, and since then with the promise of labor and tropical paradise, people of all different races and cultures flocked to the islands. Through years of interracial marriages, Hawaii has become home to many beautiful hapa children of different backgrounds and ethnicities.

Since their inception in 1929, Hawaiian Airlines (HA) has continually grown to become major player throughout the Pacific. In 2013 HA finished that year with their “sixth consecutive year of profitability and a record passenger count of 9.95 million.” (Hawaiian Airlines, 2014) By the end of 2014 HA will have a fleet of “three ATR-42s, 18 B717s, 10 B767s, and 19 A330s.” (Hawaiian Airlines, 2014) This young fleet will continue carrying passengers on roughly 212 daily jet flights to “20 domestic

nothing about the Hawaiian Sugar Plantation. It gives clear reasons why the sugar industry started, how it affected people, and even the difficulties such as illness and disease.
