What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II) This imagine is a Hula dancer. Hula is a dance the Hawaiians did a long time ago. Hula is a dance that Hawaiians use then and now. Hula is a dance to express your passion, and soul. Shows the old culture and how itis still applied to this day, and age. It shows that it's from Hawai'i because know other place is better known for Hula then Hawai'i. The other picture represents the state fish of Hawai'i which is known as the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. This fish is very special because it's a very colorful fish that is very small. This fish is illegal to catch because it's the state fish. King Kamehameha The Great was the first very known leader of Hawai'i and I think he should be remembered even till this day. He's only known in Hawaii because thats where he lived and lead. Kamehameha The Great, conquered the Hawaiian Islands and formally established the Kingdom of Hawai ʻi in 1810. By developing alliances with the major Pacific colonial powers, Kamehameha preserved Hawai ʻ i's independence under his rule.
