Hau is one of the valued canoe plants, chosen for itʻs many practical and cultural uses. Its fibers were traditionally used to make strong cordage, essential for daily life and voyaging. The wood of the Hau is lightweight yet durable, and naturally buoyant, making it especially useful for martime purposes. Beyond its function, hau is admired for its beauty-its pua (flowers) begin the day bright yellow and gradually transform into a deep redish brown by evening, reflecting the passage of time and the close relationship between nature and Hawaiian life.
