A
paper on the history of Puerto Ricans and their eventual migration
to Hawaii.
Excerpt: "From 1900 to 1901, eleven expeditions brought over 5,000 Boricuas to Hawai`i. Most came from the mountain regions of Yauco, Lares, Utuado and Ajuntas, and many were coffee farmers whose crops had been devastated by huracn San Ciriaco in 1899. The Boricuas who came here were proud of their indigenous heritage, initially identifying as "Boricuas" or "Boriquenos," not as "Puerto Ricans" or "Porto Ricans," since they considered themselves Indians." |
