Hawaii, which became the latest state of USA in August 21, 1959, is a group of 19 islands and is 2300 miles away from mainland. Though the islands have been a part of the USA since 1898 they constituted a territory rather than a state.

Nowadays, Hawaii is famous for its beautiful culture and scenery. Among its culture, I want to describe about their Hula dance, which is developed by the Native Hawaiians or indigenous Polynesian. Hula dancing is a complex art form, as they want to signify the aspects of nature such as the Basic Hula and Coconut Tree motions or basic leg steps. So, Hula dance is unlike any other dance, and this culture becomes the major tourist for Hawaiians.

Another interesting about them is their ancient Tiki Gods. In their myth, because of the powerful spew from the volcanoes, their land had filled with amazing thing and their history with Tiki Gods. Ancient oracle of Hawaii perched on volcanic cliffs and carved the wooden Tikis peering through the rain-forest. These Tiki Gods temple were located in the Hawaiian Tiki villages and islands. They were worshiped through human sacrifice and chants(for health, weather and love) prayers and lava sledding. That's why, ancient Hawaiian world was a myth land being frightened from Tiki masked warriors.
