northeast trade winds, which prevail most of the year and
make living on the islands delightfully comfortable.
 PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE

• The plants and animals that have migrated to Hawaii

evolved in a relatively benign environment, creating species
that live nowhere else on the planet. The seeds
of endemic plant species were carried to Hawaii by birds,
winds, or currents and tides, bringing about extensive
forestation, shrubbery, and grasslands where soil and
precipitation were favourable.
 CULTURAL LIFE

• Hawaii’s cultural milieu is the result of overlay

after overlay of varied cultural groups. The
original culture remains evident in the islands, but
the Native Hawaiian aesthetic has become
diminished and diluted over the years through
death and intermarriage.
