Big Island Vacation Guide 2009 - (Page 32) Over time, Hawai‘i’s immigrants have added many rich layers to Hawai‘i Island’s heritage. The island is now a melting pot where there is no ethnic majority. Reminders of the past, however, are very clear. You can experience the island’s history when you walk the paths of ancient Hawaiians or attend an authentic lu ‘au and try hula. You can enjoy the gifts of those who came ¯ before us when you visit the many museums and attractions around the island. Hula, chants, religions, languages, health and wellness treatments, music, art, cuisine as well as the special aloha for the land are some of the lasting contributions you can experience during your stay. These preserved traditions will provide an unexpectedly enriching time for those lucky enough to visit the island of Hawai‘i. 32 www.bigisland.org Basket weaving demonstration.
