Some 4-5 million years before, say, Tahiti or Raiatea. Bora Bora was originally known as Vavau meaning &#39;first born&#39; &#038; then Pora Pora.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-was-bora-bora-founded\"><\/span>When was Bora Bora founded?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They called the island Vavau, which means &#34;first born.&#34; It is likely that these early explorers were from Tonga, but there is no physical evidence of this. The name Vavau has evolved over the years to become Pora Pora, and finally Bora Bora, probably in 1769 when Captain Cook discovered the Leeward Islands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-did-people-of-bora-bora-come-from\"><\/span>Where did people of Bora Bora come from?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bora Bora Island was first inhabited by Polynesians who crossed the Pacific Ocean in such vessels from Tonga &#038; Samoa around the 3rd century AD.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-would-a-trip-to-bora-bora-cost\"><\/span>What would a trip to Bora Bora cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The average cost of a one-week trip to Bora Bora is $3,184 for a solo traveller, or $5,718 for a couple. (Note that this average price is for all holidays to Bora Bora, from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-hawaii-so-remote\"><\/span>Why is Hawaii so remote?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to Woods, though, as far as coral dispersal patterns go, Hawaii is nearly as remote. The great distances and unfavorable currents that separate Hawaii from its nearest neighbors almost completely isolate our local reefs from the potential colonization from elsewhere.

Private land owners in Hawaii, paid for their lands. Most land was originally purchased directly from the Hawaiian Monarchy or Monarch. The land was not stolen.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-hawaii-be-given-back\"><\/span>Can Hawaii be given back?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A new Native Hawaiian government would not receive a land-base, territorial jurisdiction, nor be eligible for land to be taken into trust. The only possible land back is the island Kaho&#39;olawe, bombed for 50 years by the US navy and with unexploded ordinance still stuck in the ground.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-would-be-king-of-hawaii-today\"><\/span>Who would be king of Hawaii today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since the death of Lili\u02bbuokalani, several people have claimed the Hawaiian throne.
