RELATED INFORMATION
In contemporary Hawaiian society, the term “haku” is associated with a lei worn on the head. However, traditionally, “haku” simply refers to the method of making a lei with a base material, such as a ti leaf, or tree bark, and braiding it while adding flowers, leaves, or ferns. This is a traditional Hawaiian style of lei making that was common in old Hawaii. The contemporary haku head lei is quite popular in the Islands for weddings, graduations, and any special occasion.
Originating from India, this plant traveled through early Polynesia on canoes of settlers to the Hawaiian Islands. Islanders cooked the leaf stalks in an underground oven, or “imu”, simmering its fragrance of flavor with fish or pork.
