A unique quality of Hawaii's cosmopolitan mix of peoples is that they live together, work together and play together in an environment of aloha. The average ohana (family group) mingles the heritage of East and West. A child can have ancestors who came from China, Japan, Korea, the South Pacific Islands, like Samoa and Tonga, or the Philippines. Some grandparents may have come from the new countries of North America, the old countries of Europe, or more recently, the countries of Southeast Asia. Many have strands of Polynesian ancestry and all are the Golden Children of Hawaii.
