Islander, sounds like someone has a report to do for school.
Rachel, you came to the right place. There is always someone here to help.

Hello Rachel,
I would consider the ancient islanders to be the Indian groups that lived here before European "discovery" and colonial days.
From archeological digs they seem to have eaten a lot of shellfish and seafood. Clothing - not sure, the drawings often show them in very little.

This last one is a good one for information on the art work, there are pictures too.
