Here is a link to 12 pages of what I think is really interesting information. I don't know about you, but I've always thought Hawai'i was first settled by Polynesian people. Perhaps not.
If you are interested in Hawaiian history, you may enjoy this post. And be sure to check out the tattooed guy at the end.

Wow! Very interesting. So then where do the Kahiki stories come from? How do the Menehune fit into all this? Supposedly the Menehune were living in Hawai`i before the migration from Kahiki.
And where does Easter Island fit into all of this?
When we went to Fanning Island (Tabuaeran) a few years back, the people who live there now were undoubtedly melanesian. They did not resemble polynesians at all. I thought they looked more like some people that I have known from India who have very dark brown skin, however, I could see similarities in their language to various polynesian languages, such as the use of the word "tabu". |

Once again, we must face the Cousinhood of Humanity.
Petroglyphs of catamarans in Norway! Fish and poi, fish and potatoes. I like'm both. |
