The Huli Culture: Different From The United States

The Huli culture is very different from the United States. Their justice system, and market fits for a small-scale society, which they are. For their justice system, they do not have any “chiefs,” all the leaders they have will show their power through war, their skill in meditating disputes and by amassing wealth in pigs and shells.
