In Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander cultures, how are societal roles traditionally determined?

Traditional roles in many Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander societies are shaped by age, gender, and lineage. Chiefs and elders often hold important leadership and decision-making roles, rather than roles being assigned randomly, voted on democratically, or won through competitions. The correct choice is “by age, gender, and lineage with chiefs and elders holding significant roles.”
