Hawaiian people, also known as Kanaka Maoli, are the indigenous inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands. They have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional practices, language, and customs. The Hawaiian language, or ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, is an important aspect of their identity and is being revitalized in schools and communities. Historically, Hawaiian society was organized into a complex system of chiefdoms, with a strong emphasis on family and community. Today, many Hawaiians continue to celebrate their traditions through hula, music, and festivals, while also advocating for the preservation of their land and culture in the face of modern challenges.
