Forests Aided Primitive Man in Hawaiian Life
Charles S. Judd describes how ancient Hawaiians used forest products to build canoes, weapons, tapa cloth, dyes, perfumes, feather capes, dwellings, and furnishings. The outrigger canoe, carved from koa and other woods, enabled long voyages. Bark cloth came from waik, wauke, and mulberry, with dyes from plant sources and fragrant mokihana. The forest supplied posts, rafters, beams, and thatch for homes, while spears and adzes were fashioned from native woods.
