The USGS has some undersea maps of Kaua'i
The Hawai'i Natural History Association has excellent resources for teachers about the Geology of Hawaiian Volcanoes
Another excellent resource is the Moanalua Gardens Foundation

Great photos of Native Hawaiian Animals from Dan Petr
The Department of Aquatic Resources has an excellent site about Hawaiian streams and native stream animals.
Beyond excellent is Pacific World's site about Ha'ena, by RDK Herman. This site is really worth visiting and spending some time with - a great synthesis of the geography and culture of indigenous people. Check out Pacific World's homepage for other upcoming projects.
Huapala is a great source for accurate Hawaiian lyrics to songs. I found Ulili E and E Hihiwai there.
