But the Azores are!

And they're also Portuguese.

And they also sent many of the first Portuguese emigres to Hawaii!

Portuguese immigration to Hawaii began in 1878 when Portuguese residents
made up less than 1% of the Island population. However, the migration
that began that year of laborers from Madeira and the Azores to work in
the sugarcane plantations rapidly increased the Portuguese presence in
Hawaii, and by the end of 1911 nearly 16,000 Portuguese immigrants had
arrived.

Jason Perry (Jacinto Pereira), a Portuguese settler who served as the
Portuguese Consul to Hawaii, suggested in 1876 to plantation owners of
the Planters' Society (a predecessor of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters'
Association) that the Madeira and Azores Islands of Portugal might be
ideal sources of reliable workers.[4] Portuguese colonists had first
settled these islands in the Middle Ages, and the terrain and
subtropical climate were very similar to that of the Hawaiian Islands.
More important though, sugarcane had been the mainstay of the economy in
Madeira and the Azores for over 400 years, and most of the population
was involved in one way or another in the sugarcane industry.[6]


Intrigued by Perry's suggestion, the Planters' Society began recruiting
Portuguese contract workers, first in 1878 from the Madeira Islands, and
then two years later from the Azores as well. Several ships between 1878
and 1887 brought to Hawaii more than 3,300 Portuguese men from these
islands, but because many of the men brought their wives, children, and
other relations as well, there was an actual immigration during these
years of about 10,700 Portuguese.[4] Whereas contracts for the Chinese
workers that preceded them generally stipulated single men only, the
Portuguese were allowed to bring their families, an incentive that the
plantation owners hoped would provide stability.[6] Prior to
independence in 1975, many Cape Verdeans emigrated to Hawaii from
drought-stricken Portuguese Cape Verde, formerly an overseas province of
Portugal. Because these people arrived using their Portuguese passports,
they were registered as Portuguese immigrants by the Hawaiian (and
later, the American) authorities.

Portuguese immigration to the islands slowed after 1887, which was the
same year that King Kalākaua was stripped of power, and about the same
time that importation of other ethnic groups increased. Nonetheless,
Portuguese immigration continued, and by the end of 1911 almost 16,000
Portuguese had arrived. Unfortunately, the more affluent members of
Hawaiian society tended to view these newcomers as inferior or "low
class", and growing resentment at being treated as "second-class
citizens", resulted in many Portuguese later emigrating to the mainland
United States, particularly California, in search of equality and
opportunity.[6][8] Though many left, many stayed and by 1910 Portuguese
residents made up 11.6% of the population of Hawaii.[9]
