Culture of Hawaii

The culture of Hawaii has its origins in the traditional culture of the natives of Hawaii. As Hawaii has become home to many different ethnic groups in the last 200 years, each ethnic group has added elements of its own culture to local life. Today, contemporary culture in Hawaii is a mix of different cultures and ethnic groups that make up its unique population. Visual art and culture in Hawaii

In the museums in Hawaii today, there are relics of the reign of Kamehameha I. In particular, there are feather cloaks. Historically, red is a color of sacred, innate power, and yellow is a color of the layman, of political power. During the reign of Kamehameha I, as Kamehameha proceeded to conquer and unite most of what is now Hawaii, yellow came to replace red as the most convenient color.
