Known for pristine beaches, rich culture, foods, and musical language, Hawaii is situated in the North Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles from the United States mainland, and was once known as the Sandwich Islands, and is considered paradise by many.
Hawaii became the 50th state in the United States on August 21, 1959, under a cloak of controversy that has clouded this beautiful state since 1843, when Lord George Paulet, of the British Royal Navy, entered Honolulu harbor, captured the Honolulu Fort, and claimed control of the town, forcing King Kamehameha III to abdicate the throne. Controversy and unrest continued throughout the reigns of King David Kalakaua and his sister, Lili' uokalani, when Hawaii was under the leadership of the United States, right up until a formal apology was issued to the state of Hawaii when Former President, Bill Clinton, signed an "Apology Resolution" on November 23, 1993, and the unrest continues, still.
Hawaiian history is rich and interesting, and the facts lend themselves to rousing Hawaiian Party trivia. From simple facts like what lei greetings mean, and symbolize, to planning a festive luau, with brightly dressed guests in island attire, and guests attempting the hula in grass skirts, where you can serve traditional Hawaiian fare or an eclectic mix of traditional and American foods, your Hawaiian theme party is sure to be a success, and you are sure to inspire great rounds of Hawaiian trivia games, and provide guests with a better understanding of Hawaiian historical facts.
