A "moku" is a term used in Hawaiian culture to refer to an island or a district within an island. In the context of the Hawaiian Islands, each moku has its own unique geographical and cultural characteristics. The concept of moku is important for understanding the traditional land divisions and governance in Hawaii. In addition to its geographical significance, moku also plays a role in the management of natural resources and community practices. Each moku is often associated with specific practices, such as fishing and farming, that reflect the local environment and traditions. This system helps maintain the balance between people and nature in the Hawaiian Islands.
