    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.
