Based on this document there is a lot to the two-way voyaging relationship between Tahiti to Hawaii. Based on the passage, it can be seen that the political system is a chiefdom. As for the social steucture, it can be presumed that it is slightly paterichal but women seem to have a perminante role as well. This is ex amplified by Ho `oipoikamalanai and Hinauu who both decided to marry Mo `ikeha. So here we can see that women have freedom of choosing who they marry a privilaged that isn't really seen in other parts of the world at the time. The finally, it would seem that danceing and the existence of a Polythestic god hilights the cultural significance of the two-way voyaging between Tahiti and Hawaii.
