Hawaii
The true origin of the name Hawaii is uncertain. Some say the islands were named for the chief navigator on the first voyage whose name was Hawaii Loa. While others say it means "the heavenly homeland to the north."
Hawaii's first settlers were Polynesian. They discovered the islands 1,500 years ago. They traveled over 2,000 miles from the Marquesas Islands in huge double-hulled 60 to 80 feet long canoes. These explorers navigated the ocean using the sun, moon, stars and birds.
Their canoes were capable of holding a family of 30, food, domestic animals and plants. Hawaiians sailed back and forth to bring more family, pets, livestock and plants to their new home. Approximately 250 Polynesians initially landed at the southern tip of Hawaii's Big Island. They named the group of islands Hawaii.
