I would also recommend "Aku Aku" by Heyerdahl, as well as "Kon Tiki" which is probably his best known work. If you're into Hawaiian history, there's a book called "Shoal Of Time: A History of the Hawaiian Islands" by Gavan Daws. It covers Hawaii from Cooks visit until statehood. There's also a book called "Hawaiian Historical Legends" by William Westervelt that goes into lots of detail about the legends of some of the gods and how the stories came to be.
