Hawaii not always about Aloha
#2
Ku was not brought during the first wave of migrations from Tahiti, in fact it was one of the last waves. Until then the different ali'i worked cooperatively and shared resources from each ahupua'a and moku (district) between them. After Ku was brought, the inter-island wars started up and continued until Kamehameha conquered all the other ali'i and established the Kamehameha dynasty. So the blood thirsty warrior society was actually a fairly late development in Hawaii.
