No, Hawai`i is part of Polynesia not Micronesia or Melanesia which are two groups of islands further southeast in the Pacific. These groupings are named for characteristics the first western explorers noted when they "discovered" the islands. Polynesia- Many peoples; Micronesia- Small peoples; Melanesia- Dark peoples. Other Polynesian island (groups) include Aotearoa, Rapa Nui, Tonga, Samoa and French Polynesia.

I think Tahiti is part of Polynesia. Where is Tahiti located, anyway? Whatever.

It is a state in the United States, but it is the northernmost extension in the Polynesian triangle. The first people who came to Hawaii were Polynesian.

Yes it is. Hawaii used to trade with other islands in the Pacific so it was greatly influenced by their culture, and other islands were influenced by theirs.
