Wai, fresh water, is the source of life and the physical manifestation of the god Kāne.

No one had ownership over water in traditional society, and laws were strictly enforced in management of this precious resource. Ahupua‘a, traditional land divisions from mountain to ocean, centered on the wai flowing from waterfalls, to the streams and rivers, to taro patches, fishponds, and then finally to the ocean.

The understanding that there was no life without wai guided the daily decisions and communal direction of those that lived in the ahupua‘a. The word for wealth, is waiwai, leading one to understand that the abundance of wai is the foundation of life.
