The candlenut tree (Aleurites moluccana), known locally as kukui, is a large tree in the spurge family with deep cultural and practical significance in Hawaiʻi. Its nuts contain white, oily kernels that were once burned for light—making the kukui a powerful symbol of enlightenment.
Traditionally, the nuts were cooked into a flavorful relish called ʻinamona. The tree's soft wood was used for crafting canoes, gum from its bark was used to paint tapa, and black dye was extracted from the nut coats and roots. In fishing practices, men would chew the nuts and spit them into the sea to calm the waters while netting parrotfish (kākā uhu).
Polished kukui nuts are often strung into leis, as are the silvery leaves and delicate white flowers. In 1923, kukui was chosen to represent the island of Molokaʻi, and in 1959, it became the official emblem of the State of Hawaiʻi—a reflection of its many uses and enduring symbolic meaning.
Moʻolelo:
One Hawaiian mo‘olelo (story) tells of Kamapua‘a, the pig god, and his journey of transformation. In his younger, wild days, Kamapua‘a was impulsive and fiery, but as he matured and sought peace with the goddess Pele, he was said to have been gifted the Kukui tree as a symbol of his newfound wisdom and calm. Wherever the Kukui tree grew, it was believed that Kamapua‘a had once passed through, bringing light and healing in his wake. This story reinforces the Kukui as a symbol of growth, transformation, and enlightenment—a reminder that even the wildest spirit can find peace and purpose.
