Names of all the Hawaiian Islands

So what are the names for all the Hawaiian islands?

It was Garrick Saito who provided an outstanding response to the names that were introduced just after the state, without going into the logic behind the names. In the following I comment briefly on his shortlist with a short explanation and a spelling adjustment of the islandname:: But before the state, each of the islands had its own tradition of epitheta, often through its connection with various chieftains under whose reign it flourished, or through its connection with great gods, some of whom are mentioned here as examples:

This and other indigenous epithetics are becoming increasingly important as the culture revitalization of Hawaiians is increasing.

Founded in 2000 for the conservation, the conservation and reinterpretation of Hawaiian tradition and nature, the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail is a 175-leagues long passageway and a web of heritage and historic trails. Passing through centuries of old Hawaiian settlements and over 200 Ahupua'a (traditional landforms).

It is a unique place that resonates with tales of Hawaiian old and contemporary civilization and preserves the connection between the country and its population. It also takes care of threatened types, some of which are nowhere else. An information page on the closure of the reserve and frequently asked questions has been made. Though not yet open to the general public, the Honouliuli National Monument (NM) will tell the story of detention, the laws of combat and the experiences of Hawaii's POWs during the Second World war.

As Hansen's Syndrome (leprosy) was established on the Hawaiian islands, King Kamehameha V. exiled all those affected to the remote island of Calaupapa on the northern bank of Molokai. More than 8000 persons, mainly Hawaiians, have passed away in Calaupapa since 1866. In order to live in a warm and dry setting, the local Hawaiians (Kanaka Maoli) used old fish catching techniques, which included the construction of fish ponds, and the awareness of the state of the valuable freshwater (Wai) that runs into the many Brackwater basins of the reserve.

It was the genius of the tribe (Poe) and the wisdom of the oldest (kupuna) that established a long standing history of the area. So where else did a beached seaman rise to become a great chieftain across an isle? How else can one witness the culmination of a nation predicted from past ages?

The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Memorial, home of the USS Arizona Memorial, tells you more about one of the most important events in the US history: the Pearl Harbor assault and the later entrance of the United States into the Second World War. This memorial retains and reinterprets the tales of the Pacific War, from the imprisonment of the Japanese Americans to the battle of the Aleuts.

This is just one example of the work of the National Park Service.
