  Native Hawaiians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Native Hawaiians (in Hawaiian, kanaka ʻoiwi or kanaka māoli) are the Polynesian peoples of the Hawaiian Islands who trace their ancestry back to Marquesan and possibly Tahitian settlers (starting circa 400 CE), before the arrival of British explorer Captain James Cook in 1778.
Practically all native Hawaiians are fluent in the English language as a result of both the emphasis the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi put on learning English, as well as over a century of being an integral part of the United States of America.
Native Hawaiian culture saw a revival in recent years as an outgrowth of decisions made at the 1978 Hawaiʻi State Constitutional Convention, held exactly 200 years after the arrival of Captain Cook.
