On August 8th, 2023 the Nā ‘Aikāne o Maui Lāhaina Cultural Center was lost to the devastating firestorm.
Immediately after the disaster, Nā ‘Aikāne spearheaded recovery and relief efforts to affected residents. Despite the hui’s great loss, Ke’eaumoku Kapu, longtime indigenous justice and social change advocate, has been tirelessly serving the community, staffing care hubs outside of shelters and overseeing cultural sensitivity training and deployment for response efforts.
