If you are indigenous & you get emotional hearing your indigenous language being spoken, sung, or chanted, it is your ancestors reminding you that they are present.

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.

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

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: 4,645

Native Hawaiians are claiming MSM is greatly underreporting the number of dead. Is anybody even surprised at this point?

URGENT TRAVEL ALERT: Vacation travel to West Maui is strongly discouraged for the near future. The collective resources of the government, the West Maui community, and the travel industry must be focused on the recovery of residents who evacuated their homes and businesses. (1/4)

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
English
@playpokemon Now is NOT the time. My community is suffering and dealing with intense trauma right now. Just because the event is scheduled on Oahu doesn’t mean we still hav space & resources for y’all. Please read the room. Do not come.

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.

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

On Friday, Elicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her Lahaina home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college. Suddenly, her fiancé pulled it from the ashes. “You found it!” she said, choking up. It was damaged but still legible.

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 regulators, and politicians.
As we rebuild, we must restore the Green New Deal promise of public land and water use.
