Here is a brief introduction to the state of Hawaii.

Capital City: Honolulu
Nicknames: Aloha State, Paradise of the Pacific, Pineapple State
Population over 1, 2 million residents

State’s Flag: Closely resembling the Union Jack of Great Britain, after which it was modeled, Hawaii’s flag has eight stripes that represent the main islands of the state. The flag was adopted in 1959.

The most isolated region on Earth, Hawaii pricks the surface of the Pacific 2,400 miles off the western coast of North America-it’s as remote from California as San Francisco is from Savannah, Georgia. Spawned by the earth’s molten core and shaped by the ocean’s steady battering, the country’s newest state is a work in progress. Although tourism has intruded on Hawaii’s past, the islands still nurture the remnants of the most advanced indigenous culture in the United States.

In January 1778 two ships that would eventually bring more change than any tsunami sailed into Kauai’s Waimea Bay. Capt. James Cook, an accomplished British explorer, was on his third voyage to the Pacific when he happened upon the islands. He found a highly developed society with an elaborate caste system. Commoners fell to their knees at the approach of a chief. Women were barred from eating with men. A high priest, or kahuna, presided over human sacrifices. Violating any taboos, or kapu, could result in death. With unintentional but perfect timing, Cook arrived during the annual harvest festival; he was mistaken for a harvest god and all prostrated themselves before him. After heading for Alaskan waters to search for a Northwest Passage to the Atlantic, Cook returned, his ship’s mast broken and he himself looking sadly mortal. He was killed by the islanders on the beach during a scuffle over some iron tools. Before long, new ships arrived with tools and guns. The natives and the Europeans set aside their differences to start a thriving trade. With the help of European weapons, a warrior named Kamehameha unified the islands and ruled as a benevolent despot until his death in 1819. Soon afterward, his dissolute son took the throne. One of Kamehameha’s surviving three wives talked the new ruler into dining with her. The taboo was broken-a woman had eaten with a man. With that, 650 years of religious practice crumbled.

In 1835 Americans establish the islands’ first permanent sugarcane plantation, on Kauai. In 1887 King Kalakaua allows U.S. Navy to occupy Pearl Harbor. Revolution led by Americans ends monarchy in 1893 and then in 1894 the Republic of Hawaii is established. 1898 U.S. annexes Hawaii. On December 7 in 1941 the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor; U.S. enters World War II. In 1959 Hawaii becomes the 50^th state. In 1996 Native Hawaiians vote to create a native Hawaiian government that enables native Hawaiians to hold a constitutional convention.
