What a unique place are the islands of Hawaii. Isolated, even from the rest of the Pacific islands, but also possessing a unique biology and beauty because of that isolation combined with the islands' volcanic origin. On the other hand, the complex of people living on the islands, including the descendents of the original settlers plus the malihini, the "newcomers," from the mainland and Japan and the Philippines and many other countries, have changed the biology of the islands, imposed a human infrastructure that has altered the landscape, and created an open and egalitarian cultural melange that is a model for the rest of the world. |
