Native Hawaiians were the nature loving islanders west of the Americas. Since their culture was such laid back way of life, the native Hawaiians viewed other ways of living differently. They see the big rushed cities and the stressful lives of city people. They see the large acres of farmlands and farmers slaving overproducing enough crops to just make a living.When the average person thinks of Hawaiians, they think of parties and girls in grass skirts, but that is not all of what Hawaiian culture is. The Hawaiian people try to live a simple life by, making their own clothes and growing their own foods on the island such as "taro" a native plant that the Hawaiians believe is their "spiritual brother". They did participate in events and challenges in island based activities. Hawaiians are thankful for everything they have in life and they keep the 'Ohana(family) the closest. They would not kill an animal unless it was for food. They cherished all things that are in nature, being that their religion says that they are all connected. Hawaiians being on an island have to import most of the things they want. Being the islanders that they are, they use all of their resources to the fullest.They did participate in events and challenges in island based activities. Also they enjoy the combination of music and dance. Any where you go in Hawaii you are sure to see a game of volleyball being played or a ukulele being strum.
Green mountians and Volcanoes make up most of Hawaii
While the beaches and coastal areas serve for fishing and tourism.
