Abstrakt: This article provides information on Hawaiian people and culture. Hawai'i had three classes of people: the chiefs, the working people, and the outcasts. The ali'i, or chiefs, were the highest class of people. Most Hawaiian children had a special person who watched over them and taught them. For most children this person was a kupuna, a grandparent. For the chiefs it was a kahu. The kahu took care of all the young ali'i's needs. Most Hawaiians were maka'ainana. The maka'ainana were the people who lived on the land. They were the farmers, fishermen, and craftsmen. They were the workers of Hawai'i. The lowest class of people were called kaua. Kaua were outcasts. They lived on certain lands and grew their own food. No other Hawaiians could mix with them.
