Native Hawaiians bring a culture to this country that is unique. Theirs is a history of a proud people who, like other indigenous Peoples of our country, have struggled to maintain their culture amidst other prevalent influences of American society.
Native Hawaiians have begun to more assertively recall their heritage as a great Polynesian people. Their ceremonies and cultural practices have been reborn and their language is thriving. Their historic sites are reminders of their prowess as ocean navigators, agricultural innovators, and as a successful multi-tiered, complex society that existed for hundreds of years before Europeans left their homelands.
