I’ve been in Owyhee County (which doesn’t look at all like what I’ve seen of Hawaii...bleak desert...the size of mainland Massachusetts but only has 11,000 people) and thought that “Owyhee” was just a 19th-century variant spelling of Hawaii.
It was a variant. Apparently, there were some native Hawaiians who traveled with some French explorers. I’d have to double check my Idaho history.
