Visiting Hawaii
Most
people are familiar with the large Polynesian and
Asian communities in Hawaii. In the mid 1800s, as
businessmen were plotting to overthrow the island's
monarchy and establish a provincial government, workers
from Japan were brought in to harvest the islands'
main crop, sugar. A hurricane in 1899 brought another
group of immigrants to the islands - Puerto Ricans.
In 1900, 114 men, women, and children set sail from
San Juan. With a lack of food and water, several perished.
Only 56 made it to the territory. This period is called
"Trabajo y tristeza" or "work and sorrow."
More than 5,000 more Puerto Ricans would make another
trip from Puerto Rico to settle on sugar plantations
on Oahu, the Big Island, and Maui. That small group
currently has a community that makes up one of Hawaii's
various cultures.
