	Folklore in Hawaii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Folklore in Hawaii in modern times is a mixture of various aspects of Hawaiian mythology and various urban legends that have been passed on regarding various places in the Hawaiian islands.
		Local folklore on the island of Oahu says that one should never carry pork over the Pali Highway connecting Honolulu and Windward Oahu.
		The stories vary, but the classic legend is that if one carries pork of any kind over the Nuuanu Pali by automobile, the automobile would stop at a certain point on the way and not re-start until the pork is removed from the vehicle.

	Top20Hawaii.com - Your Top20 Guide to Hawaii!
		Hawaii (Hawaiian/Hawaiian English: Hawai‘i, with the ‘okina; also, historically, the Sandwich Islands) is the archipelago of the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
		Ethnically, Hawai‘i is the only state that has a majority group that is non-white (and one of only four in which non-Hispanic whites do not form a majority) and has the largest percentage of Asian Americans.
		Public schools in Hawai‘i have to deal with large populations of children of non-native English speaking immigrants and a culture that is different in many ways from the mainland US, where most of their course materials come from and where most of the standards for the schools are set.

	folklore - Columbia Encyclopedia article about folklore (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The study of folklore emerged significantly in the 19th cent., partly out of the rise of European romanticism, with its interest in the past, and partly out of nationalism, with its stress on the indigenous.
		Folklore has become increasingly important in the study of primitive societies and in understanding the history of mankind.
		At first sight such a work seems to be a miscellany of myths, technical advice, moral precepts, and folklore maxims without any unifying principle; and critics have readily taken the view that the whole is a canto of fragments or short poems worked up by a redactor.
