Abstract:
|
With this project, I hope to gain a clearer picture of the relationship between women and plants in Hawai`i. In addition, I am interested in how that relationship has changed both the plants and the women who have tended/harvested/worked/used/thought about/taught them. Hawai`i presents a unique opportunity for understanding the evolution of the relationship between plants and women because of the incredibly strong connection between the Hawaiian people and the land. This paper will briefly examine where colonialism has led this connection and focus on the relationship between women and plants with regards to several styles of plant work. For the purposes of this project, they are the following: education, medicinal and cultural uses of plants, lei-making, and conservation efforts. |
