Foraging Limu with Lei Wann

This week in our Hawaii foraging series, Lei Wann introduces us to Limu—one of the oldest known life forms on Earth and a plant that plays a crucial role in marine ecosystems. Lei walks us through the many types of limu, their uses in everyday life, and their deep cultural significance in Native Hawaiian traditions. Lei Wann serves as the Director of Limahuli Garden and Preserve, a unique living ahupuaʻa system located on the island of Kauaʻi. Lei's deep roots in the community trace back over 500 years, as her ancestors, makaʻainana (stewards), have tended to the valley for generations. In her role, Lei carries forward this legacy of stewardship, blending traditional practices with modern innovations to maintain the health of the ahupuaʻa system. Under her leadership, Limahuli Garden and the greater Hāʻena community work collaboratively to preserve their cultural heritage, foster sustainability, and ensure a thriving future for the land and its people. This video was created as part of the USDA Indigenous Food Sovereignty Initiative, in collaboration with NĀTIFS, to support Indigenous-led education on responsible foraging and food sovereignty.
