No Nā Kānaka

For the People – we are guided to serve where, when, and how the people of Maui need us to. 

August 8, 2023 Fires

The devastating August 8, 2023 Maui fires claimed 102 lives, displaced thousands of families, destroyed 2,200 structures, resulted in the loss of over 10,000 jobs, and caused billions of dollars of damage.

We do not realize how much we take for granted until it is gone, or until we are helping someone that has just lost everything—the home we live in, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the car we drive, the simple tasks that accompany our day-to-day life, brushing our teeth, using the bathroom, taking a shower.

No Nā Kānaka

No Nā Kānaka, meaning for the people, is a movement founded on the belief that the people of Lahaina can rebuild Lahaina. Every decision we make, everything we do, every thought, word, or deed must be fueled by this—our unwavering love for the people and our belief in their inherent power to be the navigators of their own destinies

Kia'i

To watch, guard.

To overlook, as a bluff guard, watchman, caretaker.

To pay very close attention to.

To protect as of a cherished place.
