To reporters covering the #MauiFire: Please stop characterizing Front Street and Lahaina Town as a “tourist spot” It was the original Capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. King Kamehameha’s palace is here. Kānaka Maoli still live here, on their ancestral land from the 1800s.

Some think of Lahaina as a "vacation destination," but @KanielaIng underscored its significance long predates Western interest. He said the fire is a “scorching warning” of what’s to come if indigenous communities aren’t protected from climate change nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…
