Modern '''native Hawai{{Okina}}ians''' have a rich, colorful past that they are keen to pass on to eager groups of children and grandchildren sitting out on the lanai. But inside each native Hawai{{Okina}}ian, or more specifically their genes, lies another rich, colorful past, just waiting to be told.


About fifty thousand years ago [[Australia]] and [[New Guinea]] were first settled. Between 1600-1200 BC the seafarers from New Guinea set off in their canoes in order to settle new lands. They first came upon the islands of [[Fiji]], [[Samoa]] and [[Tonga]], and from here, the [[Polynesian]] culture began to develop some 900-1300 years later. Continuing on with their voyages, they moved eastward and settled [[Tahiti]], the [[Cook Islands]], the [[Marquesas]] and [[Rapa Nui]], all up until about 300AD.
==Marquesans==
According to archeologists, the first boat of settlers to Hawaii landed around AD 500, carrying [[Marquesans]] who are largely thought to have been exiled from [[Marquesas]] due to the fact that no new Marquesans ever arrived, nor did any go back. These few Marquesans began to settle the outlying Islands. Not much is known about these early settlers.
==Tahitians==
The next wave of settlers were from [[Tahiti]], and arrived in much larger numbers around AD 1000. These settlers were well equipped to begin life in a new land, having arrived with large numbers of pigs, dogs, [[taro]] roots, and other crop plants. When the Tahitians arrived they began to settle each of the major islands. The Tahitians made many subsequent  journeys back and forth between Hawai{{Okina}}i and Tahiti, ostensibly to get supplies, and report on their findings. After the first of such voyages vast waves of Tahitians followed to pursue a new life in Hawai{{Okina}}i. So many Tahitians came to Hawai{{Okina}}i that Hawai{{Okina}}i's population may have reached 250,000 by AD 1450. The voyages continued until around AD 1500 when all contact between Tahiti and Hawai{{Okina}}i appears to have stopped.


The history of native Hawaiians, and of Hawaiʻi in general, is classified into four major periods: antiquity (Ancient Hawaiʻi), monarchy (Kingdom of Hawaiʻi), territorial (Territory of Hawaiʻi), and statehood (State of Hawaiʻi).
==Notable Hawaiians==
 
Some notable Hawaiians include:
==Ancient Hawaii==
*[[King Kamehameha I]]
The first period of Hawai`ian is called "[[Ancient Hawai`i]]". Ancient Hawai`i is the period of time between when the first settlers arrived, and when Hawai`i officially took on a monarchy.
*[[King Kamehameha II]]
===The people===
*[[King Kamehameha III]]
At the peak of this stage in Hawai`is development two groups of people had settled in Hawai`i. The first settlers were Marquesans, who were followed by the Tahitians.
*[[King Kamehameha IV]]
====Marquesans====
*[[King Kamehameha V]]
According to archeologists, the first boat of settlers landed around AD 500, carrying Marquesans who are largely though to have been exiled from Marquesas. The fact that no new Marquesans ever arrived, nor did any go back, supports the theory that the settlers were exiles. These few Marquesans began to settle the outlying Islands. Not much is known about these early settlers.
*[[Prince Lunalilo I]]
====Tahitians====
*[[Prince Kalākaua I]]
The next wave of settlers were from Tahiti, and arrived in much larger numbers around AD 1000. These settlers were well equipped to begin settling, having arrived with large numbers of pigs, dogs, taro roots, and other crop plants. When the Tahitians arrived they began to settle each of the major islands. The Tahitians made many subsequent journies back and forth between Hawai`i and Tahiti, ostensibly to get supplies, and report on there findings. After the first of such voyages vast waves of Tahitians followed to pursue a new life in Hawai`i. So many Tahitians came to Hawai`i that Hawai`i's population may have reached 250,000 by AD 1450. The voyages continued until around AD 1500 when all contact between Tahiti and Hawai`i appears to have stopped.
*[[Princess Lili`uokalani]]
===Government===
*[[Queen Ka`ahumanu]]
*[[Queen Victoria Kamamalu]]
*[[Queen Kalama]]
*[[Queen Emma Na`ea]]

Modern native Hawaiʻians have a rich, colorful past that they are keen to pass on to eager groups of children and grandchildren sitting out on the lanai. But inside each native Hawaiʻian, or more specifically their genes, lies another rich, colorful past, just waiting to be told.

About fifty thousand years ago Australia and New Guinea were first settled. Between 1600-1200 BC the seafarers from New Guinea set off in their canoes in order to settle new lands. They first came upon the islands of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, and from here, the Polynesian culture began to develop some 900-1300 years later. Continuing on with their voyages, they moved eastward and settled Tahiti, the Cook Islands, the Marquesas and Rapa Nui, all up until about 300AD.

Marquesans

According to archeologists, the first boat of settlers to Hawaii landed around AD 500, carrying Marquesans who are largely thought to have been exiled from Marquesas due to the fact that no new Marquesans ever arrived, nor did any go back. These few Marquesans began to settle the outlying Islands. Not much is known about these early settlers.

Tahitians

The next wave of settlers were from Tahiti, and arrived in much larger numbers around AD 1000. These settlers were well equipped to begin life in a new land, having arrived with large numbers of pigs, dogs, taro roots, and other crop plants. When the Tahitians arrived they began to settle each of the major islands. The Tahitians made many subsequent journeys back and forth between Hawaiʻi and Tahiti, ostensibly to get supplies, and report on their findings. After the first of such voyages vast waves of Tahitians followed to pursue a new life in Hawaiʻi. So many Tahitians came to Hawaiʻi that Hawaiʻi's population may have reached 250,000 by AD 1450. The voyages continued until around AD 1500 when all contact between Tahiti and Hawaiʻi appears to have stopped.
