What do Hawaiian tribal tattoos mean?
That is a question with a complicated answer/ If you go to Hawaii (to anyone who has been seriously and gonestly trained in this type of the tattoo tradition) you will go to them, and the artist will ask you about your life, and your perosnality. through this, they will come up with a design or series of designs that the artist believes will fit you. many of these designs center around protection and luck, or ideas like creativity, travel, and things of that nature.
the actual process of hawaiian/polynesian tattoing itself is interesting, but that is a question for another day.

What makes a culture civilized?
A civilization is usually understood to be a complex society characterized by the practice of agriculture and settlement in cities. However there is debate as to what constitutes civilisation.
The degree to which a culture can be considered 'civilized' depends only to the degree that it maintains the following values, both through positive moral education and encouragement, and also through punishments for infractions.
1. Justice : A clear set of agreed upon and impartialy enforced rules for behavior, which reward good acts and punish bad acts. Protection of individuals against the state, including an option of trial by jury and free and honest legal representation, among other things.
2. Integrity : Rules which ensure honestly and plain dealing. Theft, embezzlement, corruption are all punished. Systems are produced to catch and punish acts of dishonesty at the earliest possible moment.
3. Humanity : Rules which ensure that individuals do not exploit or dominate each other. These rules include - rules against usury, exploitation of labor, abuse or exploitation of family members, including forced marriages. Rules which protect the environment and the consumer.
4. Tolerance : Freedom of conscience, including the right to join or to leave any religious group or faith, freedom to associate with others in whatever manner one chooses (provided this does not infringe on others' rights).
5. Property : People have an inviolate right to whatever property that lawfully comes into their position (according to the rules above).
In today's world, no culture fully meets this ideal, but some (modern Western Cultures) are far closer to it than others (e.g. Muslim, Latin, and Asian societies). The western cultures, moreover, have taken much greater steps on their own initiative to grow in civilization, while others either have not changed at all or only changed due to the correct and moral pressure of the West.
Did the Maya Aztecs and Inca all have powerful seafaring traditions?
There is now plenty of evidence for Inca and pre-Inca peoples using balsa and reed rafts and boats with sails, some of which were used as trade vessels into Panama and even Western Mexico (as borne out by metallurgical imports). Sacred (pink) shells and metal were the main cargoes. Indeed, Pizarro encountered these. Apparently outlying islands (e.g. the Galapagos) were visited, and debate continues as to whether sailing technology was introduced via Polynesians or evolved independently. The Chimu and Moche seem to have used large reed vessels to transport goods between their river valleys, but it is not certain they used sails.
The question with Mayan/ Aztec seafaring is more complex, as to date there is no firm evidence for sails though some very large ocean-going dugout canoes traded and travelled around the Gulf of Mexico - especially of the Chontal Mayans - and the Caribs seem to have had outrigger canoes. If sails were ever used in these areas, we must assume they were a very late introduction (probably from the Incas).
