How many people were living in Hawaii in 1778 when the first white men arrived in the islands? The conventional belief is that the number was somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000. But now, in the most factually detailed and theoretically sophisticated study of the subject ever conducted, David E Stannard contends that the true figure was 800,000 or more – a population almost as large as part of Hawaii today. Virtually every aspect of Hawaii is nearly 2000 years of human history Will bear re-examination in light of these revolutionary demographic findings.
