Hawaiian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hawaiian can refer to:

• the Hawaiian Islands
• the Hawaiian language
• the Hawaiian People (Kānaka maoli)

Residents of the state generally do not refer to themselves as Hawaiian unless they in fact have some Hawaiian blood (see above). They might instead refer to themselves as kama`aina, meaning "child of the land", or as locals, especially if they were born (or at least raised) in Hawaii. These latter two terms imply origin in, or great familiarity with, Hawai'i, but not Hawaiian descent.

• Hawaiian Airlines, the 12th largest commercial airline in the United States.
• Hawaiian eruption is a type of volcanic eruption where lava flows from the vent rather than building a dome or being thrown into the air by gas pressure.
• Music of Hawaii
• The Hawaiians a football team in the World Football League from 1974 to 1975.
