As you stated, there are no Hawaiian landraces but there were many heirlooms. By heirlooms, I mean plants that were brought to Hawaii and adapted to the island enivronment and reproduced over successive generations. The earlier heirlooms that everyone seems to long for were sativa and mostly sativa. Post Green Harvest, the faster strains were imported ( mainland strains and dutch strains) and adapted to create 60-90 wonders (plants that would finish seed to harvest in 60-90 days. I would also consider these heirlooms if grown over many generations in Hawaii. I was in high school on the East side of the Big island in the mid to late 1980's and most of what was around were the 90 day wonders. The sativa strains were still around, but harder to find. Since Green Harvest has stopped, I think there is a great opportunity to create new Hawaiian heirlooms. Just like before, import the seeds with desireable traits, plant many starts (alot will get wiped out by the environment) and successively breed those that the environment and the selector like the best.I'm not here to burst anyone's bubble, but there really is no such thing as: "Landrace Hawaiian Sativa".
Most of the herb that got there originally came from three sources:
1. Military guys bringing SE Asian strains back from Viet war via Oahu, who then settled on the outer islands.
2. Folks that were fed up with Cali excited to try a new growing scene, who brought local CA seeds with them.
3. People that either had friends who or themselves had Mexican connections, and growing those seeds there.
Now: Enter Operation Green Harvest early 80's, and more local population (rips) going backcountry to find it.
People that had been successful growing and harvesting pre-helicopter were now scrambling to pull it down.
As a result, seed production became helter - skelter at best. Many lost entire crops, and all their seeds with it.
Afterwards became an era where people began swapping seeds and taking what they could get, from friends.
Few were successful doing what they did as before and this seriously broke down any chain of ownership surety.
Enter today: There was no indigenous Hawaiian herb there ever. No one tried to grow it at all there until the 50's.
One needs to remember that Hawaii did not become a state until 1960. Very few were even going there before.
So .. No such thing as landrace or even indigenous Hawaiian. And, anyone selling Hawaiian Sativa, is guessing.
I have propagated and grown types of black and green Awa (Kava in Hawaiian) in Hilo. Propagation is actually easy. You cut the branch on each side of the node and lay it horizontal and cover it halfway with a cinder mix. After a while, The new plant will grow from the node. I've chewed the root, and it was calming. It made your mouth a little numb also and easy to drool on yourself.Yep, the Polynesian Hawaiian's were not smoking any weed.
The first tales came from seeds brought during Korean war.
There is, however, a long history of kava (kava) drink there
The whole culture eventually began to learn of the benefits.
And calming and euphoric nature of the "Drink of the Gods"
