Support Maui, Hawai'i Residents During the Lahaina Wildfire Crisis

A series of wildfires exacerbated by hurricane winds and climate change has destroyed homes, historical sites, and natural flora in Lahaina, Maui. Thousands have been displaced, and lives have been lost.

WWC's mod Ren has put together a page outlining resources for residents displaced and affected by the wildfires, and for those who wish to support them during this crisis.

Please share this resource and consider donating, especially if you are not local to Hawai'i and have visited or are considering visiting the islands.

Find a list of orgs to donate to HERE

Our hearts are with Maui residents during this tremendous loss.

HOW HAWAI`IʻS PEOPLE CAN TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THE `AINA

[kuleana--does-anyone-care]

Hawai'i will be free one day, and justice will be given to the American colonists.

I don't think it's a radical ideal for the want of Hawai'i to become their own independent country. It should have never been taken over by the US in the first place. For a country whose entire foundation is based upon "separation from a colonial country" it's laughable that they made an entire population that was self governed into a state. It's insulting. It's already blatantly obvious that this whole country was based on lies and blood, and it only continues to perpetuate that. I'm shocked that the Hawai'ian sovereignty movement isn't mainstream even though they have been fighting for it since 1997. Fuck the American government.

[kabutone]

also there is something so heartbreaking about learning hawaiian history as someone of native hawaiian descent. like for one, i had to choose to take a class on my own as an adult. we had classes in school and i picked stuff up since like im born and raised here but like. idk i had to choose to look into it on my own.

and the second part is that like, i always knew it was a bloody and violent history but like everyone fought so Hard. and to see in detail the extent that activist groups organized (hui kalai'aina and hui aloha 'aina come to mind, they went around the islands getting signatures to protest annexation and they took that shit to the capitol) and like, there were some people that listened but for the most part the US just abused whatever power they could to take anything and everything and its like.

youre reading this tragic story, something that happened right where you grew up, that happened to the people you come from, and they're fighting so hard to just keep themselves alive they're doing EVERYTHING they can, and you know how the story ends. you know because you are living it right now, what happens is that despite all their efforts, they're still killed or stripped of their language, culture, land, resources, etc.

the worst part was in one of our readings i remember there was a board of american men that were pushing for english only schools, defunding hawaiian schools and then saying "look at how bad these schools are performing, look at how nobody is sending their kids there! it must be bc the hawaiian schools suck" and not bc they like. took away all their resources

and they like explicitly stated that their end goal was to separate hawaiian children from the language and the culture, to raise them to be as non-hawaiian as possible. they figured it was better for hawaiian kids to grow up not being able to speak the language, not knowing anything about their culture, and essentially just being as disconnected as possible and i realize as i was reading it that i was their end goal. im hawaiian but i cant speak the language and i have to apply to a class as an adult to try to learn about the place i was born and raised in and its humiliating and That is what they wanted. it sucks it fucking sucks to realize that about yourself, the people that wanted to erase your culture so bad not only did it, but You are their desired result of that.
