Hawaii

The main Hawaiian Islands are thought to have been discovered by ancient Polynesians, probably from the Marquesas, somewhere around the 3rd century A.D. The first Heiau, or temple was built on the Big Island of Hawai`i in 500 A.D. to worship their two primary gods, Ku, the god of war and Lono, the god of peace and agriculture. By 850 A.D. the main Hawaiian Islands were mostly settled. The Polynesians were accomplished ocean voyages and explorers long before the Europeans had ventured far from land.

The Pacific is much too large to be categorized into one "region" -please be more specific about my beloved Pacific...

A single police officer was killed during the overthrow of the Monarchy but no deaths are attributed to the annexation.

Yes Big Island generally does refer to Hawaii, as this is another name for it. However, there's also establishments and companies that also call themselves Big Island such as Big Island Coffee.

It was thought up by Benjamin Franklin. It's main purpose is to adjust people to the lack of daylight in winter months, though that is not quite the case. Daylight Savings Time actually makes it appear as if the sun has risen up earlier in the morning (as the sun rises late in winter months). This limits the amount of sunlight in the afternoon, which I believe is the most important, considering scholars and such have a knack of wandering outside at these hours, and the lack of daylight increasingly limits their freedom. So, I guess the best answer to your question is a non-linear one; Daylight Savings Time just helps people get up early to get to work by extending the amount of daylight during the morning. Other than that, it's kind of pointless, as most people don't remember their mornings as well as they do their afternoons, and since the afternoon daylight hours are restricted by DST, it only creates more questions than it "answers."

Two major corporations located in Hawaii

Kanaloa is symbolized by the squid or by the octopus, and is typically associated with Kāne. Kāne and Kanaloa are portrayed as complementary powers. For example: Kāne was called upon during the building of a canoe, Kanaloa during the sailing of it; Kāne governed the northern edge of the ecliptic, Kanaloa the southern; Kanaloa points to hidden springs, and Kāne then taps them out. In this way, they represent a divine duality of wild and taming forces. Kanaloa is also considered to be the god of the Underworld and a teacher of magic.

1993, at the same time as Alaska, Rhode Island and Washington, apparently. http://walmartstores.com/AboutUs/7603.aspx

About 1900.

Hawaii does not have a state police, so it was easy to develop one for television without stepping on anyone's toes. In creating the concept for the Hawaii 5-0 series (which ran from 1968-1980), they chose 5-0 because Hawaii is the 50th state (entering the Union on August 21, 1959). It was a celebration of Hawaii's 8 years of statehood.

The sugar plantations were run by American businessmen, but they could not control the Hawaiian rulers. So they attempted coups in 1887 and 1893, after which the US annexed the islands. It became a territory in 1898, and then a state in 1959.

Historians are divided on the question with some opting for Melanesians and others for Polynesians. Best answer might be "other Pacific Islanders".

I read on many sites while researching for my report on Hawaii that Polynesians from Marquesas first inhabited Hawaii.

Hiram Bingham I led the first Protestant missionary effort in Hawaii. Others included Asa Thurston who translated the Bible into Hawaiian, English missionary William Ellis, LDS missionaries Parley P. Pratt, Walter M. Gibson and Joseph F, Smith.

They are called "Lei's"!!! :)

They were sought for their plumage.

Hawaii is a US state- and no one person owns all of Hawaii. Much of it IS owned by the US government, and several million companies and people own the rest.

No. That is categorically false. Alaska is the coldest part of the USA.

On 21 August 1959.

Yes, Hawaii's quarter was one of the last to be minted in 2009.
