In Hawaii, you are corporate ‘ohana’ until it becomes ‘inconvenient’.

One way to conceptualize the ahupuaʻa is to visualize a “weirdly-shaped pizza slice” of land from an island that made sure to include all the needs of an ohana or village. The konohiki were usually distant relatives of the high chiefs and also helped them govern the common people, or makaʻainana. Even amongst the makaʻainana, there were societal classes and hierarchical divisions.

The second theory of what ohana meant in ancient Hawaiʻi is that it was not a genealogically driven concept but merely a kindred network. This relaxed definition of a family meant that a group system of cooperation was prioritized and also allowed for shifting access to the land as needs arose. This theory is further supported by the fact that maintaining genealogical lines among the commoners was forbidden by the aliʻi. Allowing inheritances and rigid notions of the family to take root would have led, and indeed did lead to, conflict and wars.

Early on in Hawaiʻi’s development, blood ties would have been the main factor in determining ohana. In time, however, only high chiefs and rulers would be allowed genealogical titles of great importance, making marriage within their own families a frequent practice. As time went on, power would be determined by marriages and warfare. Commoners would have little to no property rights that were linked to bloodlines and family possession. The makaʻainana would be moved about by war and conquest, maintaining loose ties to extended families. The redistribution of land and reallocation of land stewardship, which would happen after new bouts of conquest, unavoidably shifted these groups around.

Prologue               It started with rain. A torrential downpour that began around midnight and waged throughout the next day. Occasionally it would ease off for a few minutes, only to come back even stronger.               Step two was the temperature drop.

Once it did, the rain gave way to heavy, wet snowflakes.               Dr. Hardy Nicks stood just outside the front door of the Vanderbilt Medical Center. He checked his watch repeatedly while hopping up and down on the balls of his feet, hoping to stay warm. A plume of vapor extended from of his mouth, each breath hanging like a cloud in front of him.               As an attending surgeon at the center, Hardy had been on the floor for twenty hours straight. Enormous bags hung beneath each eye and his thinning hair was plastered to his head from being smashed beneath a surgical cap. He hadn't bothered to change out of the light blue scrubs he'd been wearing all day, the shapeless togs doing little to hide his slight frame.               An airlock released behind him.
