Hawaii is a part of Polynesia AND it is a legal part of the United States.

Polynesia basically means many islands. Though it's farther away from most of what people consider Polynesia, Tahiti, Samoa, etc., yes, Hawaii is part of Polynesia. That word merely refers to a geographic portion of the world. Much like Asia can refer to Japan, Philippines, China and Thailand.

boomer gal is right.
the pacific ocean is sort of sectioned into 3 parts [because westerners love to label and group everything]: polynesia, micronesia, and melanesia.
hawaii is in the polynesia section. it is also the 50th state of America.

Hawaii is a US State, but the Native Hawaiians are a branch of the Polynesian history, culture, ethnic background. There are areas throughout the Pacific that have Polynesian ties, from Tahiti to Samoa to Fiji to Hawaii.
