The Pacific Northwest







In the Pacific Northwest the original settlers were the native americans. They migrated about 10,000 years ago to this region. The Native Americans relied on the natural resources to survive. In Hawaii, the original immigrants were the Polynesians. They are thought to have landed in Hawaii much later than the Native Americans to the Pacific Northwest, sometime between 750- 1250 CE. The Spanish made trips between the Polynesian islands and mexico, but never stumbled upon Hawaii. In 1778, Captian James Cook landed on the Island of Kaua'i.
