Did it snow in kaneohe Hawaii?
No. Kaneohe is located at sea level, on the Northeast shore of Oahu. Known as the Windward side of the island, the incoming trade winds bring lots or rain, and the area around Kaneohe is basically tropical rain forest. It DOES snow in Hawaii, but only at the top of Mauna Kea- over 13000 ft above sea level.

Although currently there is no discernable danger to Hilo, the entire island is formed of lava flows, therefore it is always a possibility that a future eruption from either Kilauea or Mauna Loa can threaten Hilo.

Did ancient Hawaiians eat whales?
I was recently on a whale watching tour and asked the captain of the boat if ancient Hawaiians had any myths about the humpback whales that are so abundant here around Maui county every year. His response was that there was no record of any ancient Hawaiian myths or even records of humpback whales. Having grown up here I know that ancient Hawaiians venerated species such as the turtle and the shark so it seems inconceivable that whales would be omitted completely. The captain then went on to say that the speculation is that humpback whales were not in the water around Maui County during the time of the ancient Hawaiians. Interesting, no?

because the United States insisted Hawaii grant it exclusive rights to a naval base at Pearl Harbor. In 1887 sugar planters forced Hawaiis king to accept a constitution limiting his power. the planters wanted Hawaii to become part of the United States. After ascending the throne in 1891, Queen Liliuokalani tried to reassert the Hawaiian nocharchys power, but the planters, supported by U.S.sailors, overthrew the monarchy in 1893. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898
Who are the Hawaiian warriors?
There were many individuals in the days of Kamehamea the Great who were warriors in support of the Kingdom of Hawaii
Another more modern group deserving that accolade would be the 442nd Regimental Combat Team whose service in the Second World War's European Theatre is deserving of the highest praise. Twenty-one members of the 4-4-2 were awarded the Medal of Honor for their services. Fifty-two Distinguished Service Crosses, 560 Silver Stars (plus 28 second awards), 4,000 Bronze Stars (plus 1,200 second awards) and 9,486 Purple Hearts marked it as the most decorated unit to see service in WWII.
Many of these young men did their service while their parents and siblings were interned as prisoners in camps scattered across the US. Their service did not end the historic bias against Japanese Americans across the Homeland but it certainly created a crack in that otherwise locked door of American prejudice.
The Age of American Imperialism begun by William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt left a black mark on American History every bit as wrong as was Slavery, the Indian Removal Act and the WWII Japanese Internment Camps. Fundamental decency it was not. The token payment of $20 million to Spain may have soothed Europe's ruffled feathers at the time, but the actions still smelled bad.

How long is a boat trip from Memphis to Hawaii?
That's quite the trip there. You would be going down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, into the Gulf of Mexico, through the Panama Canal, and then a good distance to Hawaii. This could take a couple of weeks, or longer if you're not in a hurry. Boat speed, idle time for problems, and number of stops/overnights would determine the amount of time it would take. (There could be some waiting time at the Panama Canal, as well.)
How do you travel from island to island in Hawaii?

Why did President Grover Cleveland refuse to annex Hawaii?
Answer 1
Because such an action taken without the consent of the governed was in direct opposition to the dictates of common decency, democratic principles and International Law.
Answer 2
Cleveland learned that the treaty did not have the support of Hawaiians
During the first term of President Grover Cleveland, the U.S. and the Kingdom of Hawai'i entered into a free trade agreement, and the Kingdom allowed the U.S. to mine coal there and to set up a naval station at Pearl Harbor. However, during the four years between Cleveland's first and second terms, a group of European-Hawaiian and American-Hawaiian businessmen overthrew Hawai'i's monarchy and seized power, allegedly with the unauthorized help of the U.S. Marines as requested by U.S. Minister (Ambassador) to Hawai'i John Stevens. The rebel government sent to the U.S. a treaty of annexation, which President Benjamin Harrison supported and forwarded to the Senate for approval. After retaking office in March of 1893, Pres. Cleveland withdrew the treaty from the Senate and sent the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Relations former chairman James Blount on a secret mission to ascertain and report on the situation in Hawai'i. After Blount reported that the people of Hawai'i were against the government takeover and U.S. annexation, Pres. Cleveland supported the reinstatement of Queen Lili'uokalani. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, chaired by John Tyler Morgan, held public hearings on the matter then released a report that contradicted Blount's report. With Pres. Cleveland's political party supporting the Morgan Report and Queen Lili'uokalani's refusal to Cleveland's terms for support, which was amnesty for the rebel government, Pres. Cleveland withdrew his support for Queen Lili'uokalani.
During the year of the 100th anniversary of Queen Lili'uokalani's overthrow, a committee of native Hawaiians studied the Blount Report and the Morgan Report and commented, "The truth lies somewhere between the two reports."
