Hawaii has been inhabited since 300 B.C.E according to archaeologist's. The first people to settle on the islands were Polynesian from the marquesas islands, later settlers were from the Tahiti islands and they introduced some of the ancient cultural practices Hawaii has today.
 
A British explorer called Captain James Cook made first contact with the Hawaiian islands in 1778.Cook published several books about his visits to the islands ,his books brought many European explorers and traders, traders began to visit the islands these traders brought new diseases which killed a lot of the islands' population.
