Hardly anyone goes out to farm their own land anymore anyway. Everyone only cares about the harvest from their land; many haven't even visited their fields in years.
They all just think, 'Ah, I do have my field. I've outsourced its management.' In such a situation, there probably wouldn't be much resistance to how fields are distributed.
Plus, there's the issue of fairness with the natives. And we need to consider how the newly born and growing generations will make a living.
No, it's actually beneficial for everyone. Initially, it's 50 hectares, but as generations pass and children divide the limited land among themselves... not much would remain.
"Surprisingly... it seems good. When people immigrate or are born, we give them land, and when they die, we reclaim it. It's much easier to manage than tying it to households."
Hewett, who mainly handles administrative work, agreed with Manteo's proposal to manage native societies.
