The Hawaiians have their own style of tuning and playing the guitar called "slack key." The story of how this came about is that the Mexican vacaros brought guitars with them; in addition to teaching the Hawaiians how to be "paniolo," they taught them to play the guitar.
In true Hawaiian fashion, Hawaiians adapted playing the guitar into a tunings and style all their own.
Another Hawaiian guitar adaption is the steel guitar - before it bacame a standard in American country music, it was a Hawaiian thing.
Another thing Hawaiians adapted into something all their own is the quilt. The missionaries from New England brought the craft of quilting with them and soon Hawaiian womane Hawaiianized it.
In doing a Google search on Hawaiian Quilts, I found that Native Americans also have a quilting tradition.
