Sure the early Hawaiians had an impact; but it was infinitesimal compared to the post contact environmental change. The key differences in the Hawaiian culture and Western culture were resource management vs resource exploitation.
In an aside relevant today, the Hawaiians lived in Puna all this time and didn't lose a lot of Hale through stupid construction practices.
Respect the culture. We could very well learn something.
