The Kawakawa's small family groups got together by using smoke signals. The smoke signals were used for events but also sometimes used for war. Each of all of the bands had its very own chief, even though the chief didn’t have power much at all .The chief is usually the oldest member in the band or group. Marriage in the bands was arranged by the Indians parents .When marriage had been arranged, the man always brings presents to the women’s family. A man is never ever allowed inside a hut in his out-laws.
