Mokuʻāina
Mokuʻāina refers to a land division in the Hawaiian Islands, often translated as "district" or "island." Each mokuʻāina is part of a larger administrative structure, which includes smaller units called ahupuaʻa. These divisions were historically significant for managing resources and governance in traditional Hawaiian society.
In modern times, mokuʻāina can still be seen in the organization of local government and community identity. They often reflect cultural and historical significance, connecting residents to their heritage and the natural environment. Understanding mokuʻāina helps preserve the unique identity of the Hawaiian Islands and its people.
