Kukui Canoe Plant Greeting Card
Kukui, also known as the candlenut tree, is a revered canoe plant brought to Hawaiʻi by Polynesian voyagers, prized for its multitude of uses and deep symbolic meaning. The oil-rich nuts of the kukui have traditionally been used for lighting, medicine, and wood preservation, while its wood, leaves, and bark have applications in crafts, dyes, and traditional healing practices. In Hawaiian culture, kukui symbolizes enlightenment and protection, often used in lei making for special occasions, and its presence in the landscape serves as a living connection to the wisdom and foresight of the ancestors who recognized its value for sustaining life on the islands.
