This year, to celebrate Indigenous People's Day, we're taking a look at the history of Hawai'i, from its early history in the Polynesian maritime culture to its forming a Kingdom to its annexation by the United States. Beyond simply a special case in the story of American expansion, Hawai'i has a deep history that deserves to be better known.

SOURCES & Further Reading: Great Courses Lecture "Lifeways of Australia and the Pacific" by Craig Benjamin, Britannica Hawai'i, "The Navigators: Pathfinders of the Pacific" By Low & Estus, Lonely Planet Hawai'i History, and lots of discussion with a native Islander (see discord section below).
