@ArrowbearMoore Hawai‘i's always had land divisions, known as Moku, slicing the ‘aina (Land) from the volcano to the ocean. These moku were the watershed.
They were governed by the King's Chiefs, who are all of royal descent, collectively known as Ali‘i.

They were further subdivided into something known as ahupua‘a. Which were governed by lesser chiefs, who were still a royal descent.

The ruling Chiefs re-distributed goods, from the Farmers to the Fisherman. All were happy, then #fakestate
