Aloha! Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. ⁣ ⁣ For all our tree lovers, forest defenders and dendrophiles out there, check out these quick, cool facts about the Kukui tree and itʻs uses. ⁣ ⁣ The state tree of Hawaiʻi, the Kukui is a symbol of learning, protection, and peace. Though the Kukui tree is not native to Hawaiʻi, the tree is an important part of their heritage and can be found through out all the ʻāina (land/island) of Hawaiʻi. The Kukui was introduced to the Hawaiian archipelago by Polynesian voyagers over 1000 years ago!! ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #tree #forest #nature #environment #indigenous #ipd #nativeplants #nativemedicine maui oahu hawaii big island trees nature
