“For generations, the people of the Hawaiian chain remained in contact with the mother islands far to the south. There were voyages in both directions.
But at some point, for reasons that aren’t clear, the journeys stopped. Knowledge of the route grew fuzzy, then fell away altogether.
The inhabitants of the Hawaiian group became a happily marooned people on a happily sequestered chain of islands, and their world lay undisturbed for centuries.”
