Hawaii became a territory of the United States on July 7, 1898. Before that it was known as the Republic of Hawaii, ruled under Queen (I forgot so I'll go with Queen doe).
The persuasion of U.S. expansionists and even by annexationists (I thought it was a word, guess not-spell check is going crazy!) from Hawaii, pushed the newly elected William McKinley to annex Hawaii; and in June of 1897 he did just that.
The legality of the annexation of Hawaii to this day continues to be questioned, it was a United States Government resolution, not a treaty of cession or conquest as is required by international law. Nonetheless, both houses of the American Congress carried the measure with two-thirds majorities.
Hawaii was granted self-governance and made several attempts at statehood around the 1900s-1910s. The big five (plantation owners), found territorial status convenient, enabling them to continue importing cheap foreign labor; such Immigration was prohibited in various states of the U.S.
The power of the plantation owners was finally broken by activist descendants of original immigrant laborers. Because they were born in a U.S. territory, they were legal U.S. citizens. Expecting to gain full voting rights, they actively campaigned for statehood for the Hawaiian Islands.
In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Hawaii Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law.

Explain how Hawaii changed from a Polynesian society to a multicultural society?
Hawaii used to be isolated from other cultures and was exclusively Polynesian. As people's ability to travel increased, people from many different areas, such as the US and Japan, moved to Hawaii. The newcomers had a strong influence on the local culture, and eventually Hawaii became more multicultural.
