Land Divisions
In discussing ancient land divisions, we typically hear of Mokupuni (island,) Moku (district,) Ahupuaʻa (generally watershed units) and ʻIli (strips of land.) Kalana and ʻOkana are often less-heard-of land divisions.
Land Divisions include, generally: Mokupuni - The island groups (such as our current county system;) Moku - The major districts of each individual island; Kalana - The significant divisions within each Moku’ ʻOkana – Division of the Moku or Kalana; Ahupua‘a - Individual watershed regions within each Kalana; and ʻIli - functional subdivisions of an Ahupua‘a.
