Noa Kekuewa Lincoln

Softcover

Native Hawaiian plants make up a unique flora because of the extreme isolation of the Hawaiian Islands. Over the course of generations, the Hawaiian people learned how to use the native flora to meet their needs. Along with the crops that the settlers introduced from the South Pacific, native plants became the basis for Hawaiian society and economy. In addition to describing the plants and their habitats, this guide relates the significance that native and Polynesian-introduced plants had to traditional Hawaiian culture, and tells how these plants are still used today.
