The diversity of Hawai`i's people
can be seen every where, at work, play, & on the Internet. The result is a genuine
warmth, helpfulness and kindness for people in everyday relations. This attitude or
"Island Way" stems from the tolerance of strangers & respect for the land in
the old Native Hawaiian culture, and from the camaraderie of fellow workers in the previous
plantation economy.
