2. • Unlike the other islands Lanai was not
considered a mokupuni but a moku or
division that was looked after by Maui.

3. Ohana
• Kalo is the Hawaiian word
for taro and is the basis of
the Hawaiian culture.
• The Hawaiians believe that
Kalo and the Hawaiian
islands are their peoples
ohana.
• Ohana means family and in
this culture no one is
excluded.

4. • Each ahupuaa started at the
top of the mountain and
ended at the sea.
• The land was divided like
this to ensure that all of it
was looked after.
• The people in the ahupuaa
had the freedom to move
within it and to trade with
others as well as the right to
use the water.

5. King Kamehameha
Ali'i Maka'ainana
• All of the land was under
the rule of the king.
• Each ahupuaa had an ali'i
or chief
• Konohiki or manager.
• Maka'aniana or common
people
• It was the ali'i and
konohiki's job to map out
the ahupuaasystem.
• They also oversaw where
individuals would work in
an ahupuaa based on a
persons talent.

6. • Lanai is only 140 sq
miles and therefore only
has 13 aupuaa
• 3 of which connect
• Oahu is 596.7 sq miles
and has many ahupuaa

7. • But during King Kamehamehas
quest to conquer Maui he
burned Lanai's forest in the
process.
• Lanai would then have a harder
time capturing and sustaining
what little water came its way.
• The people and some of the
forest managed to survive and
because the ahupuaa system
took care of all of the land Lanai
was on the right track to
restoring its forest.

• Unlike Gibson he imported
foreign workers from asia.
• To keep the workers
from striking he divided their
living quarters based on
their original nationality.

11. • The Hawaiian people had
a hard time preserving
their culture.
• They weren't used to

economy much has remained the
same.

that have only gone through some
patch work.

plantation era still exist.
• The opening and closing hours of the
