In Arateran society, one could not own land instead each hapu had rights to travel through and use certain lands which overlapped and entwined with the rights of other hapu which was a major source of conflict. Resettling and even moving to entirely new lands was a part of everyday life which could've been done for several reasons such as defeat in battle or population increase. In the early 12th century many Araterans began migrating to Valentir as a result of large population increases in Karawaha.
In 1629, the first Eucleans arrived in Karawaha. The Euclean settlers did not understand the Arateran way of settling the landscape in cycles and simply thought that land not occupied was available for settling. Despite this, initial contact with the Araterans was mostly peaceful. The slowly increasing
