Hawaiian Culture Research Paper

SAMPLE EXCERPT . . .
Hawaiians still retain a strong and distinctive culture, dating back centuries, and where they have adopted American culture it is a matter of them doing so as part of living within the context of the United States.

Conclusion

Hawaiians are a separate culture within the United States, not a microculture. They are a dominant culture in their home territory and have adopted some American cultural elements, but their separate culture remains strong and clearly identifiable. Their culture is easily identifiable from an ethnic perspective and is culturally distinct even from other Polynesian groups within the U.S. The status of Hawaiian culture is also special within the context of the United States and especially in the state of Hawaii.
