Last month's Maui wildfires were devastating. While mainstream
media covered the story, the deep Indigenous histories were lost in
the news cycle. Kanaka Maoli activist and co-founder of Maui Medics
Healers Hui, Noelani Ahia,
joins the show, offering a grounded perspective from Maui.
Once a cultural center of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Lahaina is at the
forefront of combatting the worst kinds of disaster capitalism and
plantation economies. We discuss the deep histories of Indigenous
relations with land, water, and fire and the long-term vision for a
just and sustainable future in the wake of catastrophe.
