ICRN Quarterly Meeting | Climate Change Impacts on Native Hawaiian Medicinal Practices

In Hawaiʻi, sea level rise and other climate and anthropogenic factors threaten native species and ecosystems. Species at risk include plants, animals, and minerals that are integral to the practice of lāʻau lapaʻau, Hawaiian medicine. With support from DRI’s Lander Grant, a recent study led by Dr. Gina McGuire of the Native Resilience project during 2024-2026 investigated ways in which environmental change is impacting the availability, distribution, and need for species identified by lāʻau lapaʻau practitioners as important to the persistence of their practice. The research team conducted interviews with practitioners located across the Hawaiian islands, documenting species, ecosystems, growing and gathering practices important to healing communities;  stewardship and cultivation practices; common ailments being treated; and, other concerns, challenges, and resiliencies discussed by practitioners. Results are now being shared back with Hawaiian and other Indigenous communities according to best practices in Indigenous data sovereignty.
