The Ali'i were already rich until outsiders changed their idea of "wealth" and taught them how to be in "debt".

I do believe that they were rich, but it seems not rich enough. They had this in common with other people everywhere.

So they don't own their own greed, needing to have been taught that. Does a successful, smart, educated Native Hawaiian with a PhD or two not own that? According to your way of thinking the poor simple easily led Hawaiians are not responsible for themselves.

While we're at it, the kind and gentle Hawaiians who eschewed violence used those shark tooth studded clubs as letter openers, right?
