I am doing a report and I can not find how Hawaii was before the U.S took over. Like for example, what happened before like was there many diseases, did they have little resources, what was the social structure? PLEASE HELP ME I WOULD BE SO HAPPY (:

Hawaii is a little area which base on the different disease because of their temperature conditions. All over the year its cold weather.when we see the social structure conditions which compare the other islands is so less.
ocial Structure of Ancient Hawai‘i
Ancient Hawaiians had a structured social order with kānāwai (strict regulations and a system of laws) that determined if something was kapu (sacred or forbidden). The mō‘ī (king, queen) and his/her ‘aha kuhina (chiefs and advisers) constituted the highest class. Below them were the nobility, known as ali‘i.
Next in rank were the kāhuna, which included priests as well as professionals with specific skills in particular fields. Common people, mostly farmers, were known as maka‘āinana and fell prostrate to the ground in the presence of chiefs, who possessed more mana (divine power). The lowest outcast members of society were known as kauā .
