As in most indigenous cultures the
Hawaiian Cultural heritage of the early Hawaiian people was handed down through multiple succeeding generations via
ancient Hawaiian Music,
Hawaiian Music Lyrics, and the
Hawaiian Language as well as the earliest of
Hawaiian Hula Dance forms. It has only been in recent decades that
Contemporary Hawaiian Music Lyrics were put to ink and the printed page. Since few Hawaiian musicians even read music each
Hawaiian Song lyrics had to be translated and hand printed over an extended period of time. Early
Hawaiian Music artists and
Hawaiian Music composers simply listened, felt and then played their music by and from the heart. Many of the
Hawaiian Music lyrics to the
Hawaiian Songs presented here are available to purchase on
Hawaiian Music CD or DVD Video formats, the most pospular being,
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow Song" as sung by the now famous
Hawaiian singer
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole (May 20, 1959 - June 26, 1997) or "IZ" as he was affectionately called, is one of the most beloved and fondly remembered Hawaiian Music artists and composers in the Hawaiian islands.

In 1964 he returned to the island of Oahu to live with his immediate family and learned the importance of his Hawaiian language and heritage. IZ was a native Hawaiian, who upon his death in 1997, at the age of 38, was only the second citizen to receive the honor of having his body lay in state at the capitol building in Honolulu Hawaii. Israel IZ Kamakawiwoole is remembered fondly in Hawaii and throughout his worldwide fan base as much more than just a singer, song writer and composer.

Hawaii's Statehood Day commemorates Hawaii's admission as a state on August 21, 1959. In 1898 the United States annexed Hawaii, which was declared as a necessary navy base for the conduct of the Spanish-American War. The United States interests coveted the islands for some time. During World War II, Oahu served as the command post for the US operations in the Pacific. Large portions of Hawaii were turned over for the US military bases. After the war, two-thirds of the residents favored statehood. However, because of the many ethnicities present, there was resistance to Hawaii's Statehood from the segregated southern states. A primary election took place in Hawaii on June 27, 1959, and various statehood propositions received many votes on that day. Following the certification of the election results, President Eisenhower signed a proclamation on August 21, 1959, declaring Hawaii to be the 50th state. This was known as Admission Day until 2001 and is now known as "Hawaii Statehood Day".
