What is this Article mainly about? А
Steep hillsides, arid climate, and a relatively small amount of land viable for economic
and agricultural development kept Molokai secluded, but its close proximity to larger,
more powerful islands brought in outsiders who took what they could from the small
island.
B
The island of Molokai served as a place of quarantine from the mid-1800s right up until
the 1960s as victims of Hansen's Disease were forced to make the island their home,
removed from their families and often never seen again.
с
The islands that make up Hawaii are well-known tourist magnets, welcoming nearly 10
million visitors each year, yet the often overlooked island of Molokai sees a fraction of
that number as less than 1 percent of tourists visit its unspoiled beaches and beautiful
sea cliffs annually.
D
Molokai has long been one of the more isolated Hawaiian Islands, and even today its
residents continue to respect the old traditions deeply rooted in Native Hawaiian
culture, offering visitors the chance to see a more authentic, slow-paced slice of Hawaii.
