  • Let's talk about the Aloha State - the only U.S state made up entirely of Islands.
    Stretching 1500 miles across the pacific, Hawaii has more than 130 islands including reefs, and atolls. However, only 6 of them-
    Hawaiʻi
    Maui
    Lānaʻi
    Molokaʻi
    Oʻahu, and
    Kauaʻi are inhabited.
    Two-thirds of Hawaiians live on O'ahu -
    home to the state's capital and largest city, Honolulu. While the island of Hawaii or the Big island is the largest of the main islands.
    In between these 6 main islands we have these two Islands - Kahoolawe and
    Niihau. And then there's this Northwestern Strip with a whole bunch of islands. There was a time when Kahoolawe, Niihau and a few of the Northwestern Islands were home to Native Hawaiians but were abandoned over time.
    This is the story of Hawaii's Abandoned Islands.

      @@natetruth6828 The people is kanaka maoli the term Hawaiian is a creature of legislation by HM Kamehameha III. It applies to foreigners that make these islands and the kingdom their home. That’s why he created the Hawaiian kingdom, the oldest and most ancient kingdoms are Kingdom of Atooi (kauai) Kingdom of Maui Kingdom of Oahu the big island known as Hawaii Island becomes the youngest kingdom created by Kamehameha III. The richest ancient history has never been introduced in a way that connects these peoples to the first people of earth Honua. The story of Adam and Eve took place on the Garden Island Atooi. The first couple are known to the Polynesians as Atamu and Hawa. Interesting parallel between the oldest language of Maoli and the English translation of the account. So we the people of Hawaiti and the Polynesian triangle are rising. The foretold prophecies that are being fulfilled that these islands will bring the world into the 1000 years of peace.

    I have been to Niihau because my friend was from the Robinson family. Supplies were sent to Niihau by the Robinson family. Some students came to Kauai to learn at the high school I attended. In my senior year, I tutored four Hawaiian guys from Niihau. The women collect special shells from that island and sell it on Kauai. They are very small and rare shells.
    I was fortunate to have been gifted a necklace from there. Glad it is closed off to tourist.

    The islands aren't abandoned. You can only live on the major islands. The rest are privately owned or wildlife refuges and would need permission to be there.

    Your pronunciation needs work: Mokumanamana is Mo-koo-ma-na-MA-na, Nii-hau is NEE-ee-how, Kahoolawe is Ka-hoo-LA-Vey (in Hawai’in, W is pronounced as V) and Lanaii is La-NA-ee. Also it was King Ka-me-ha-ME-ha (you dropped a syllable.). But your history is solid.
