Hawaiians were Aryans from India?

THE MIGRATION OF THE HAWAIIANS

The origin of the Polynesian race has been a subject for discovery

and rediscovery. The older theory of Malay origin as set forth in

the earlier encyclopædias is now recognized as untenable. The Malays

followed the Polynesians rather than preceded them. The comparative

study of Polynesian legends leads almost irresistibly to the

conclusion that the Polynesians were Aryans, coming at least from

India to Malasia and possibly coming from Arabia, as Fornander of

Hawaii so earnestly argues. It is now accepted that the Polynesians

did not originate from Malay parentage, and that they did occupy for

an indefinite period the region around the Sunda Straits from Java

to the Molucca Islands, and also that the greater portion of the

Polynesians was driven out from this region and scattered over the

Pacific in the early part of the Christian Era. The legends that

cluster around Wakea have greatly aided in making plain some things

concerning the disposition of the Polynesians.
