Hahaha Globe and Mail, way to say the quiet part out loud about race and media with your headshots. Even the backgrounds!
“This is, for us, genocide.” Keʻeaumoku Kapu headlines a rare piece in a sea of reporting about the Maui wildfires. @McKayJacqueline’s article in @CBCIndigenous examines it in relation to the erasure of Kānaka Maoli & Hawaiian land rights. A must read. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
Reports suggest 93 people are dead, 1000 people missing still, and 2700 structures destroyed. To consider this an economic opportunity to acquire land for development & profit is beyond the pale. The colonial speculation of disaster capitalism is happening right now in Lāhainā.
Lahaina residents worry that rebuilt homes in their Maui town could slip into the hands of affluent outsiders seeking a tropical haven rather than homegrown residents who give the Hawaiian island its spirit and identity. apnews.com/article/hawaii…

Lahaina residents worry a rebuilt Maui town could slip into the hands of affluent outsiders
The cost to live in Lahaina on the Hawaiian island of Maui keeps rising thanks to a chronic housing shortage and an influx of second-home buyers and wealthy transplants snatching up properties.
"Lahaina is not for sale." Maui resident Tiare Lawrence talks to @KatyTurNBC about real estate investors reaching out to residents after the destructive fires on Maui.
As the flames cover Lahaina and the rising sea levels threatens to cover Tuvalu, we see Pacific Islanders paying the heaviest price for climate change. #decolonizetheclimate
Oh Lahaina. Oh Kula. E kō Maui, we are thinking of you. And all of us in safety, let's get ready to offer all the support we can.

Seriously, can people stop saying "start a family" when they just mean "have a baby"? My family is countless generations old and many households wide. A baby would be blessed and a blessing as it joins that family, but it would not start it.

Post statehood indifference to Kanaka Maoli struggle encapsulated in a report I'm reading re: Sand Island evictions in 1979, wherein instead of letting fishing families stay in their homes, proposals to instead install an exhibition on the history of the bathing suit.
Our archives are so political, it's a wonder the colonizer hasn't lit em on fire. Our archives are the antithesis to the occupier's attempt to "obliterate the past". Come connect w your kūpuna and help bring this 'ike forward.
