In 1876 the Reciprocity Treaty was signed between the Kingdom of Hawaii and United States of America, opening a huge market for Hawaii's Sugar Plantations.
Hawaii needed skilled workers fast and the Portuguese responded. The thousands of Portuguese from the islands of Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde who came to Hawaii between 1878 and 1913 would change Hawaii forever.
Today, the third and forth generation of Portuguese-Hawaiians question their past. With their language lost and their contributions heavily woven into the multi-cultural fabric of Hawaiian culture, some find themselves wondering if they are Portuguese, Hawaiian or American.
