by Beatrice H. Krauss
In a pre-contact Hawaiʻi, plants were at the core of Hawaiian society, and the primary resource for survival with food, canoes, houses, apparel, musical instruments, medicine, and more. The book details how flora from the mountains to the sea were cultivated and harvested to create everything from food and medicine to canoes, houses, and clothing. Beyond basic utility, it examines the role of plant materials in the spiritual and social life of this farming and fishing culture, including their use in music, sports, religion, and warfare. The ending section of the book contains a delightful, and vast reference of many native plants including pictures and descriptions.
