ENR3172 - Ahupua‘a – Ancient Hawai‘i Land Use
Course Description
To the early Hawaiians, the land was sacred, to be nurtured and respected by everyone through a system of laws commonly referred to as the Kapu system. The ahupua‘a, a land division extending from the mountains to the sea, created a lifestyle where people depended on each other as a community and they shared the fruits of their labor. The land wasn’t owned it was cared for through Hawaiian values.
