The Hawaiian society before Captain Cook stumbled across the Hawaiian Islands was a complex society that had a highly sophisticated system of land division and use. Every inch of the land was under the control of specific individuals for who allowed use of the land for community purposes; instead of lines on paper they used rock walls to delineate boundaries. There were several centuries of bloody inter island wars fought over control of the land until Kamehameha took all the land under his control.
The Hawaiians were hardly "jungle squatters."
