North Shore Noni, Polynesian Canoe Plants Millennia ago Hawai'i Loa led his people to what was to be named after him as ''The Hawai'ian Islands.'' They took along with them the essential items for rebuilding their lives in the new lands. Twenty seven plants (often referred to as the ''Canoe Plants'') accompanied them. Fourteen were food and included taro, nui (coconut) and 'ulu (breadfruit). Others were for wood, tapa (cloth) and healing. Of these few healing plants that made the voyage one was the NONI la'au. Noni la'au has been part of Hawai'ian healing traditions ever since.
