Traditional Pacific Islanders drink kava, or 'awa in Hawaiian, as a relaxant and sedative. 'Awa is made out of the kava shrub's roots. The early settlers of Hawaii brought it over more than a thousand years ago. The ancient Hawaiians used 'awa as a religious offering and for medical, social, and recreational purposes. However, missionaries discouraged drinking 'awa, a connection with the ancient Hawaiian religion. In 1846, laws restricted the sale and prescription of 'awa, which greatly decreased the consumption of 'awa. However, some people still cultivated and used 'awa. For example, Kuhao, a "professional awa-chewer," chewed so much awa that he didn't feel hurt when Kaapana bit his nose off at a hula show. As another example, a stall keeper without a license gave the 'awa as a "present" for every ten-cent purchase of apples and/or vegetables. American writer Percy Waxman tried kava in a hut in Samoa and described his experience: “... five minutes after my first sip I was whirling through Elysian fields at one thousand miles an hour, seating in a ruby-studded monoplane made of gold and mother-of-pearl.” The 1910s saw the demand for 'awa increase. On the mainland United States, 'awa served as an ingredient in patent medicines. Frank Daas offered seven cents per pound of 'awa or $140 per ton and received tons of shipments from all over Hawaii. Suddenly, people raided previously ignored 'awa patches up on the mountains on government land. Eventually Forester Hosmer prohibited harvesting 'awa on government land, but after a few weeks 'awa became rare there. - Alice Kim Samoan Girls Making Kava Charlevoix county herald, January 25, 1913, Image 6 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn96076839/1913-01-25/ed-...
