Ancient Hawaiian Culture is so extremely hard to find on the internet. we've looked for half an hour and didn't see anything. if you know anything or know any sites that know anything about it please post it here.

Don't know where you looked, 207.159.62.173. It took me just one minute on Google to find this page: http://www.paulwaters.com/kapuhist.htm

That having been said, though..."Culture of Hawaii" is pretty broad and would probably need to be clarified with lots of sections. When you say, "Culture of Hawaii," are we talking about ancient Native Hawaiian culture? Or contemporary "what it means to be a kama'aina" culture, which includes all the different European and Asian influences in Hawaii? KeithH 08:18, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This article will definitely need several major sections. I think because of its vivid history throughout, a chronological approach might be a good idea and allows for the comparison of culture in Hawaii throughout the ages. Ancient Hawaii has an article to itself and can probably be omitted with a "see [Ancient Hawaii] for more information on Hawaii before Western contact" type addition. I know quite a bit about Hawaii and its culture, so I would be willing to work on this article, and anyone who has any suggestions is welcome to post them here or on my now-empty talk page ^^; Keakealani 21:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
