An American Holiday, Hawaiian Style
firework. hot dogs. Bands marching down Main street. These are the picture that come to many people's mind when they think of U.S. holidays. but the United States is a vast country made up of people from many different cultures, and the celebrating of holidays reflects this diversity.

In the Chinatown section of san Francisco, rice and snow peas are a part of many holiday meals. In New Mexico, one might encounter chili peppers, piñatas, and Mexican music on the Fourth of july. In Hawaii, one popular way to celebrate a holiday is with a feast, or luau, which has been a Hawaiian tradition for centuries

Hawaii is the only state in the united State that was once an independent country with its own language and culture. Today, many Hawaiians continue to celebrate traditional Hawaiian holiday, such as prince Kuhio day, Kamehameha Day and Aloha week. In celebration of their Hawaiian ancestry, Islanders might dress in traditional clothes such as loose dresses called muumuus or colorful shirts. Around their necks they might wear leis, or rings of flowers.


Even when it comes to celebrating a traditional American holiday such as Thankgiving , Hawaiians give it their own special flavor. They might place pumpkins on doorsteps and paste cardboard pilgrims on windows, but chances are there will also be a turkey or a pig roasting under the ground in an earth oven or imu


Cooking in an imu is an ancient Islands custom that requires much work and cooperation among family members. Preparations begin several day before Thanksgiving, when the family goes down to the beach or to the mouth of a stream to fill sacks with smooth, rounded lava stones. They choose the stones carefully for their shape and size and for the presence of holes that will prevent the rocks from exploding when they are heated.

To prepare the imu, the men first dig a large hole in the shape of a bowl about three feet wide and two feet deep. They then line the bottom and side of the hole with the lave rocks. Firewood is cut and piled up, ready for the holiday morning when a first is lit inside the hole. As the first gets bigger and hotter, more rocks placed in the hole. finally, the lava rocks get so hot they glow red and white. The fire is then brushed aside, and several of the hot rocks are place inside the turkey or pig . the meat is then wrapped in the long, broad leaves of the ti plant and tied up tightly with wire.

Before a pig or turkey is place in the imu, chopped pieces of banana plant are spread over the hot rocks. The white, juicy lining of this plant makes a lot of stream, but it can also cause a bitter taste.
So ti leaves are layered over it. Finally, the pig or turkey is placed in the imu, along with sweet potatoes, pineapple, plantain, vegetable and even fresh fire all wrapped in ti leaves.

More hot rocks are spread over their bundles of food, then more ti leaves, a layer of wet sacks, and a canvas covering. Dirt is shoveled into the hole and patted down smoothly. Not a trace can be seen of either the meal or the earth oven in which it is cooking.

Three to four hour later, the dirt is shoveled away. The men dip their hands in cold water and then quickly remove the burned leaves and rocks, allowing delicious smells to emerge from the oven. The bundles of cooked food are taken out, uncovered, and placed on platters, ready for a different kind of Thanksgiving meal, cooked and served Hawaiian style.
