First settled by Polynesian sailors 1000 years ago, the Hawaiian Islands developed a unique culture that flourished in relative isolation for centuries. British explorer James Cook’s landing in 1778 put the Islands on a path to colonization and eventual incorporation in to the Unites States when Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959. Hawaii has most recently been in the news with erupting volcanoes and devastating wildfires. Join Active Minds as we explore the history and culture of the United States’ Pacific paradise.
