Aloha. Answer: November 26, 1778. According to a Berkley University study, the first people to migrate here in Maui were the Marquesas. They sailed in 750 A.D. The Marqueses didn't know anything about the island. They just notice that every time their birds go to this direction and come back after several month are much fatter.

The Tahitians followed the Marquesas and brought goddesses and religion. The Tahitians introduced to the islands the kapu system, a strict social order that affected all aspects of life and became the core of ancient Hawaiian culture.

The Hawaiians were living on simple life style until Captain James Cook discovered Maui on November 26, 1778.
