My sisters are going home to Maui to visit our dad and family later this month. They're asking me if they should postpone the trip because Hawai'i is asking visitors to not go there. I told them you are not visitors. You are kānaka and going home. Other folks need to stay away.

Not only did CTV News Vancouver Island think this would be a hot take, but after some criticism deleted their post. Bodies of the dead are washing up onshore and THIS is the story you’re working on? How Canadians with property on or travel plans to Maui are affected? CTV News this is shameful.

Lāhainā was once wetland. Boats circled around Waikoloa Church. It’s only became dry and fire-prone because of illegal water diversions and land theft by sugar barons in the 1800’s. Today, the same families reap insane profits off continued control of our irrigation, land

Washed up on a beach across the channel from Lāhainā on the island of Lāna‘i ❤️🙏 #mauifires pls share until found

There are Kānaka Maoli bodies in that wreckage. How dare you post this

Our Moloka'i ‘ohana is arriving in Kahana with supplies right now. Boat after boat after boat … ❤️🙏 #mauifires #hawaiistrong

media coverage of maui/lahaina that doesn’t center kānaka maoli voices, losses, relief efforts, and history directly perpetuates indigenous erasure. doesn’t matter if you used to live in hawaii or vacationed there. that’s not an excuse for ignoring native communities.

If you are from Lāhainā & are receiving phone calls from realtors asking to purchase your property following the fire, please record their name, company & home address for us & post it.

Sharing a couple of fundraisers for families that were directly affected by Lahaina, Maui fires The money funded will go directly to these families : Venmo: Kaye Burnley ❤️ Memecoin Go fund me: gofundme.com/f/lost-our-hom…

The fear of losing family and ohana homes nearly overwhelmed me over the last week. My ohana was lucky but many are not. The burning of Lāhaina was something I heard the kanaka community warn of happening many times. We are now in deep mourning for the lives and cultural damage

Pls share: my Lāna‘i friends are looking for Captain Kihe from “Like Try?”fishing charters in Lāhainā. They’ve been trying to reach him since the fires started and haven’t been able to make contact. They need to know he is safe and want to know what he needs ❤️🙏 ❤️🙏 #mauifires

If I find out any of my friends or people I know are still going to Maui at this time, I will unfriend you online & in person.

the U.S government is pulling the same imperialist moves they made on Puerto Rico during Hurricane María . In 2017, they intentionally underreported the death toll to portray relief efforts as more successful than they were They reported 45 deaths. The exact death toll was:

If you find an injured or Lost Animal in the Lāhainā area, please go to the pop-up veterinary clinic at Lāhainā Gateway Plaza. If you can’t get a ride, call MHS officers at (808) 877-3680 x222 🐶🐥🐾🦜🐾🐈🐾🐈‍⬛🐾🐴🐾💕 Attached are more #foundpets ❤️🙏 #Mauifires #lahainastrong

The more I learn of the events of Lahaina during the Maui fires the more angered I become. These folx were largely abandoned and those in positions of power failed them on so many many levels. Most tragic is how the children of the community who are now largely missing /1

Still missing from Lāhainā. Pls share, we are still connecting loved ones to #missingpersons ❤️🙏 #Mauifires #mauistrong #lahainastrong

Anyone facing food insecurity on Maui can text for fresh fish delivery in the west side, or pick up in central Maui in Waiehu 🐠🐟🎣 So beautiful how everyone is offering to help 🥰 ❤️🙏 #Mauifires #mauistrong #lahainastrong

Sad news today. Dna has confirmed that Shadow did not survive the Lāhainā fires. His family, especially his daughter, worked so hard to find him. My heart breaks for his 'ohana. RIL Maurice Buen aka Shadow. A Lāhainā legend. ❤️🙏 #Mauifires #mauistrong #lahainastrong
