Polynesians, from Tahiti and the Marquesas, were the original peoples to populate Maui. The Tahitians introduced the kapu system, a strict social order that affected all aspects of life and became the core of Hawaiian culture. Modern Hawaiian history began in the mid-1700s. King Kamehameha I took up residence (and later made his capital) in Lāhainā after conquering Maui in the bloody Battle of Kepaniwai in 1790 in the Īʻao Valley.\n\nOn November 26, 1778, Captain James Cook became the first European explorer to discover Maui. Cook never set foot on the island because he was unable to find a suitable landing. The first European to visit Maui was the French admiral Jean François de Galaup de La Perouse, who landed on the shores of what is now known as La Perouse Bay on May 29, 1786. More Europeans followed: traders, whalers, loggers (e.g., of sandalwood) and missionaries. The missionaries began to arrive from New England in 1823, choosing Lāhainā because it was the capital. They clothed the natives, banned them from dancing hula, and greatly altered the culture. They tried to keep whalers and sailors out of the bawdy houses. The missionaries taught reading and writing, created the 12-letter Hawaiian alphabet, started a printing press in Lāhainā, and began writing the islands' history, until then existing only as oral accounts. Ironically, the work of the missionaries both altered and preserved the native culture. The religious work altered the culture while the literacy efforts preserved native history and language for posterity. They started the first school in Lāhainā, which still exists today: Lāhaināluna Mission School. The Mission school opened in 1831 and was the first secondary school to open West of the Rockies.\n\nAt the height of the whaling era (1840-1865), Lāhainā was a major whaling centre with anchorage in Lāhainā Roads; in one season over 400 ships visited Lāhainā and the greatest number of ships berthed at one time was about 100. A given ship tended to stay months rather than days which explains the drinking and prostitution in the town at that time. Whaling declined steeply at the end of the 19th century as crude oil (petroleum) replaced whale oil.\n\nKamehameha's descendants reigned in the islands until 1872. They were followed by rulers from another ancient family of chiefs, including Queen Liliʻuokalani who ruled in 1893 when the monarchy was overthrown. One year later, the Republic of Hawaiʻi was founded. The island was annexed by the United States in 1898 and made a territory in 1900. Hawaiʻi became the 50th state in U.S. in 1959.\n\nMaui was centrally involved in the Pacific Theatre of World War II as a staging centre, training base, and for rest and relaxation. At the peak in 1943-44, the number of troops stationed on Maui exceeded 100,000. The main base of the 4th Marines was in Haiku. Beaches (e.g., in Kīhei) were used for practice landings and training in marine demolition and sabotage.\n\n\n\nMaui is a volcanic doublet: an island formed from two volcanic mountains that abut one another to form the isthmus between them. The older volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, is much older and has been eroded considerably; it is now called the West Maui Mountain. The larger volcano in the East, East Maui Volcano (more commonly called Haleakalā after its famous summit depression) — rises above 10,023 feet (3,050 m). The last eruption occurred around 1790, and the lava flow can be viewed between ʻĀhihi Bay and La Perouse Bay on the southwest shore of East Maui. Both volcanoes are shield volcanoes and the low viscosity of the Hawaiian lava makes the likelihood of large explosive eruptions negligible.

There are many found in Hawaiian music. Three of my favorites:\n\nBeauty of Mauna Kea - Keola Beamer\nFires of Pele - Ernie Cruz Jr.\nKalapana Sands*- Ernie Cruz Jr.\n\n*Kalapana was a town with black sand beach near Kilauea that was swallowed up by lava flows in 1990. The song is actually about the place before the lava flows, but it has taken on a special poignancy since then. \n\nKîlauea - Alice Nâmakelua\nFirelady- "Sistah" Robi Kahakalau\nKaimana Hila* - Charles E. King \nMauna Loa - Helen Lindsey Parker\n \n* This is a transliteration of "Diamond Head", the famous tuff ring at the end of  Waikiki. The original Hawaiian name of the extinct volcano was Leahi or "forehead of the yellowfin tuna".

ok lava is brought close to the surface. it sits in a colum called a silt(i don't remember what it is called). after a while this lava cools quicker than a batholith and mica is formed

Very interesting question that I wish I had an answer for. I was always wondering the opposite sort of speak. How did the Anglo  survive in those caves up in the mountains in the earlier days? I mean they show all of this history on TV with the African man and the early stages of the white man. I'm just glad they discovered how to start a fire so that they could stay warm and could cook their food. I mean could you imagine eating raw meat 24-7?

The dirt that covers Hawaii is much older than Hawaii it blew in from China. The same forces covered your artifacts.
