Just as important as physical infrastructure, financial resources, shelter, etc. is the recovery of our culture and our community spirit. The Hoʻūlu Lahaina Unity Gathering organized by the nonprofit Lele Aloha and its master waterman head Archie Kalepa brought together thousands for the first time since the August wildfires. It was a public remembrance of what was lost, a celebration of Hawaiian culture, and commitment to build back in a more resilience manner.

This was recorded on the early part of the march on the Lahaina Bypass in west Maui on Saturday, January 20, 2024.
