Le isole Hawaii sorgono nella parte nord-orientale del Pacifico.Gli indigeni hawaiiani, Kanaka Maoli, sono di ceppo polinesiano e oggi sono

circa 250.000 persone.

Sono originari delle isole Marche-si, dalle quali migrarono via mare attorno all’anno 100 a. C..

Il mare è protagonista principale di queste isole, infatti proprio dal mare arrivarono i primi abitanti provenienti dalle isole polinesiane. Essi popolarono in gran numero l’arcipelago.

The Hawaii islands rise in the north-oriental part of the Pacific. The Hawaiian aborigines, Kanaka Maoli, are of Polynesian origin and number today about 250.000.

They originate from the Marquises islands, from which they migrated by the sea around the year 100 BC.

The sea is the main protagonist of these islands; in fact it was from the sea that the first inhabitants coming from the Polynesian islands arrived. They populated in great numbers the archipelago, approximately 1.000.000.
