Aloha, from central North Carolina, and welcome aboard. I worked with a colleague who had grown up in Hawaii and had ethnically Chinese and Polynesian parents, and was an Army infantry officer in Vietnam and a reservist. He was very much in the oral tradition and regaled me, over our years working together, with a lot of Hawaii lore. Once at a business meeting, I discussed Hawaii with one of the attendees, and after twenty minutes, he asked me where on Hawaii I had grown up, all based on my colleagues extensive conversation. Actually, I did have a lengthy stay on one island of the Hawaiian chain, Midway, which is as far from Honolulu as New York is from Omaha. I served there with the Navy when it was an actual tropical paradise, before the plastic vortex of ocean pollution had arrived, when the Navy kept the whole place spic and span and defended the resident bird population scrupulously. Just a few Department of the Interior people and university researchers there today.
