Good books in good hands.
This month, we’re highlighting Lāʻau Hawaiʻi by Dr. Isabella Aiona Abbott, a foundational book that shares traditional Hawaiian uses of plants and the deep relationship between kānaka, ʻāina, and the natural world.
Dr. Abbott, a Native Hawaiian botanist, ethnobotanist, and world-renowned expert on limu, helped preserve and uplift ʻike Hawaiʻi through both science and cultural knowledge.
Find Lāʻau Hawaiʻi at Nā Mea Hawaiʻi at Bishop Museum.
