From the Paper:

"Hawaiian contributions to society include music, dance, surfing, the lei, and language.The Hawaiian culture is a fascinating one, based on ancient history of colonization and gods among other things. The ancient culture is so rich and is still just as vibrant today. It is portrayed beautifully with bright colors, the use of nature, and many forms of art. Though the Hawaiian culture may seem extremely different than that of other states, it is similar in many ways. There are a great number of differences that make the culture so fascinating. It may seem the similarities are buried among differences, but traditional American culture has a lot in common with Hawaiian culture. Some similarities include recreation, holidays, language, and diversity. Both cultures influence each other and will continue throughout time, but I don't think the traditional Hawaiian culture will ever fade out."
