Pat Kanas Tradition is more important than greed.He and his people are humble and we're happy to have shared the knowledge to the Hawaiians which later spread throughout Polynesia.Even though most of it today is Micronesian way finding we can only theorize the Polys must've had something close.But for certain we still don't know since it died out long ago. Main point is Greed shouldn't be the answer and that being humble should be a main expression.
