Would 'culture' fall into this category?

Would 'culture' fall into the 'history' category?

Because if it does, what do the Japanese in Hawaii identify as, culturally? Japanese American, Japanese Hawaiian, Japanese Hawaiian American?


Living as a Japanese in Japanese culture in Hawaiian culture within U.S. culture.


Why do I use the Japanese as an example? Because they are the most proficient in English as far as being a citizen from early settlers is concerned.


The Japanese in Hawaii (simply Japanese or “Local Japanese”, rarely Kepanī) are the second largest ethnic group in Hawaii. At their height in 1920, they constituted 43% of Hawaii's population.[2] They now number about 16.7% of the islands' population, according to the 2000 U.S. Census.

The first known arrival of Japanese to Hawaii came on May 5, 1806, involving survivors of the ill-fated ship Inawaka-maru who had been adrift aboard their disabled ship for more than seventy days.

Culture is an anthropological study, not historical. History provides many important factors and influences of a culture but it does not seek to define or otherwise explain culture.





Or maybe fine arts.

Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, are the major islands for the State of Hawaii.

You wouldn't know if there was a 'cultural' section on here, would you?

I think you hit about as close as possible. If your discussion is past cultures of Hawaii, then here. If the discussion is the history of culture in Hawaii, then here. If the discussion is more generally the culture(s) of Hawaii, then perhaps back up to Academia and not History specifically.

That said, here is fine pretty much no matter what. My only concern would be exposure of the thread for attention and I doubt there's a difference between the Academia subforum and History subsubforum.

I expect there is some variety of culture within Hawaii. Social diversity on such a tiny isolated island(s) beckons allusion to ecology and Galapagos. Could the exploitation (or, to remove negative connotations, use) of social (like ecological) niches result in diversification, for example.

Also, in what ways did ecology help to shape the culture(s) of Hawaii?
