Send us a textHawaii's upcoming Statehood Day has historically been a controversial holiday for its people. With this in mind, I have chosen this occasion to take a closer look at Hawaiian culture through the lens of its state tree, the Candlenut. As the name suggests, this tree has been used as a candle, but also a clock, a bitter cold remedy, tattoo dye, and so much more. Today, we'll explore how this tree can also serve to enlighten us on the history of Hawaii and her people.Join my Patreon for bonus content and to help contribute to sustainable organizations (patreon.com/MyFavoriteTrees)Music is by Academy Garden (academygarden.bandcamp.com)Cover Art is by @boomerangbrit on InstagramScript Editing and Social Media is by Laurie Hilburn (lhilburn.journoportfolio.com)Follow me on Twitter and Facebook @MyFavoriteTrees and on Instagram @treepodcast
