No, Hawai`i is part of Polynesia not Micronesia or Melanesia which are two groups of islands further southeast in the Pacific. These groupings are named for characteristics the first western explorers noted when they "discovered" the islands. Polynesia- Many peoples; Micronesia- Small peoples; Melanesia- Dark peoples. Other Polynesian island (groups) include Aotearoa, Rapa Nui, Tonga, Samoa and French Polynesia.
