Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the fiftieth

Cook visited Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then more ships knew Hawaii
and began stopping there for supplies.
In 1820, a small group of people from the eastern United States came to teach the Hawaiian people
about Christianity. They started farms to grow sugar cane and pineapples. Because there were not enough
people to do all the farm work, farm owners brought in Asians - Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos.
Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the US mainland and
from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with traditions from several countries. People
from the various national groups have married each other, so today the groups are partly mixed.

and Filipino holidays as well as holidays from The United states. Hawaii is known as the Aloha State.
