What is Hawai‘i’s most important contribution to the world?
  • Hands down, hula. The Big Island hosts the world’s “Super Bowl of Hula” every year, it’s a no-brainer.
  • Island food. Who doesn’t love kalua pig, lilikoi butter, poke and loco moco?
  • Musical talent. We got Iam Tongi now, but who can forget Bruddah Iz, Bruno Mars, Jake Shimabukuro and all the other top-notch musicians from the islands?
  • The shaka. And yes, 2024 should be “The Year of the Shaka” and state legislators should make it the official hand gesture of Hawai‘i.
  • Volcanic and astronomical research. We got plenty volcanoes and it’s really dark way out here in the Pacific. Prime for both.
  • The people. Hawai‘i has a skilled force of construction workers, chefs, business owners and more. Heck, we even have world-class keiki bakers.
  • The places. “Jurassic Park” wouldn’t be as good if it wasn’t filmed in Hawai‘i. We also have some pretty awesome national parks.
  • Aloha. No explanation necessary.
  • All or a combination of the above.
  • I think there’s something else that’s more important.
