Analysis
Similar to the religion and beliefs of the Aztecs and and the Incas, the nomadic oceania tribes also practiced polytheism in order to explain natural occurrences. The oceanic people had sophisticated social classes, addressing individuals as higher chiefs, lower chiefs, commoners, priests, or craftsmen. Over time, as classes on the social ladder became more distinct, jobs became more specialized.
