The Population of Hawaii

Hawaiian Big Islanders

The Big Island, like the rest of the state of Hawaii, is proud of its wealth of cultural heritages. The confusion of ethnicities and customs is the fruit of a colourful story shaped by different groups that have tripped across the isles. First known colonists on the islands of Hawaii were sailors from other Polynesia archipelagoes.

Then, the Europe and America colonisers came, followed by the evangelists who put the Croatian Christians in the animist adoration of the Hawaiian population. Traders, fishermen, cattle breeders and businessmen also entered the area. Many plantations came to Hawaii from Asia and Latin America, especially China, Japan, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Korea and the Philippines.

Today, Hawaii's Big Iceland has become home to immigrants from the Pacific and almost every other part of the globe.

Over 11% are Pacific Islanders, while 27% of the population is Asian. The other breeds also made up 1% of the population. Multicultural weddings are not unusual among such a diversity of ethnic groups living on a scenic isle. For this reason the majority of the population belongs to the inhabitants of two or more different breeds with 29%.

Over half the population consists of cohabiting spouses, and on balance there are at least three persons in each family. Population densities are distributed over different ages. No wonder Hawaii's population is more than 50% of its population in marriage.

This is why some of the tourists who come to the islands come back as inhabitants. Today its much-loved significance is an indication of "Hello" and "Goodbye".

" But in the Hawaiian tongue it also means love, empathy, sympathy, friendliness and grace - an overwhelming abundance of emotion that emanates from every inhabitant of Hawaii's Big Island. "Unnecessarily to say that the Act urges the natives to show this to anyone who settles down on the ground in Hawaii. Aloha's mind is based on five different Hawaiian values: akaai ( "express friendliness with tenderness"), lokahi initiating a feeling of balance, aluolu ( "convey comfort by being pleasant"), ha'aha'a (humility and modesty) and ahonui (to have endurance and persevere through challenges).

Those are the principles according to which the inhabitants of Hawaii's Big Island are living and which give them this unparalleled hospitality and warmness. The natives say that "aloha" also means the importance of each individual for the general well-being of the fellowship, which is why the islands of Hawaii are the epitome of synergies. One of the strongest spirits of the Hawaiians is the ghost of Okana, or rather the Hawaiians.

The majority of Hawaii' indigenous homes are large and it is not unusual for them to live with their grand-parents, daughters and comrades. They also have a "calabash" or a strong personal connection with them. They' re not really blood-related, but they are rather'friends of the family', which brings a higher standard of hawaiian cultur.

Hawaii's spirit of belonging to a happy couple is based on two foundations: the koeiki (children) and the koupuna (elders). It' s also the profound feeling for families and communities that makes it so simple for the local people to welcome strangers to their islandworld. Hawaii's cultural diversity makes the country's religion just as varied.

Most of the population are Christians, whether they' re Roman-Catholic or Protestant. That is because the impact of the misionaries who came to the isle at the beginning of the nineteenth cent. Replacing the old religion and ways of worshipping the early Hawaiians, it mainly meant worshipping the natural world, such as the volcanic gods of Hawaii, Pele.

The English language is widely used on Hawaii's Big Islands, especially as it is a tourist centre and takes into account the diversity of ethnical groups living on the islands.

Hispanic pidgin English, which is actually an English-based Creole mother tongue mainly made up of a combination of spoken and written English and vernacular, is what the locals actually use for their daily dialog. Hawaii' mother tongue is still predominant and is used in school. Almost a decennium ago it was worried that the island's variety would mean the end of the language of Hawaii.

The advent of the Hawaiian Laguage (olelo Hawaii) gave rise to a resurrection in the use of their mother tongues, as this was strengthened by the education of the islands kids (or Keiki) and should be maintained in order to grow the affection for their dialog. The inhabitants do not really want to see visitors speaking anything other than "aloha" and "mahalo", which means "thank you".
