White people in Hawaii, also known as Haole, are people of predominantly European descent. They form 22.9% of the population according to the 2020 United States Census. There are around 294,102 White people in Hawaii. Including people with two or more races, the number of people with some European ancestry is 476,162 (39.3%), meaning that around 14.6% of the population is mixed race.[5]
British explorer James Cook was the first European to land in the islands of present-day Hawaii on January 20, 1778. On a subsequent visit, he was killed in Kealakekua during his attempt to kidnap and hold the king of the Island of Hawai'i in exchange for a stolen longboat.[6] An obelisk memorializing Cook's death can be seen from all points in Kealakekua Bay, on a plot of land deeded in perpetuity by the Kingdom of Hawaii to the United Kingdom.[7] The arrival of European missionaries resulted in conversion of Hawaii to Christianity.[8]
