I learned that there were a lot of different kinds of food and in Hawaii. The Poi looks pretty weird and the Poke sounds yucky. The Poke reminds me of sushi from Japan. Hawaii are good friends Britain and placed Britain's flag on their flag. The Polynesians were the first people who lived in Hawaii.
Hawaii had a Monarchy government which means they had a King ruling them. It became the 50th state in 1959. I also learned that Taro plants are real plants. There were a lot of Hawaiian foods that starts with the letter "P". Those were the things that I learned while doing this project.
