Niu Provides: Cultural Resources & Practices

Niu is truly the tree of life—nearly every part of it has a use and can sustain human life. Next in our #NiuNovember series, we’ll be sharing *just some* of the many ways niu supports us through cultural practices and resources, benefits to ʻāina and climate resiliency, culinary and health uses, and the economy.⁠

Mahalo nui for sharing your love for niu with us! If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to submit your photos to our It’s Niu or Never photo contest here!
