August 18, 2023 at 10:58 pm PDTLahaina, Hawaii, residents, who are affected by a deadly wildfire that devastated the community, hug one another after a news conference in Lahaina, Hawaii, Friday, Aug. 18, 2023. LAHAINA, Hawaii — — Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said Friday that what's rebuilt from the ashes of the devastating wildfires on Maui will be determined by the people.
Native Hawaiians and others from Lahaina said earlier Friday they worry Hawaii's governor is moving too quickly to rebuild what was lost while the grief is still raw. “Let me be clear,” he said. “Lahaina belongs to its people and we are committed to rebuilding and restoring it the way they want.” Herman Andaya had said this week that he had no regrets about not deploying the system because he feared it could have caused people to go “mauka,” a Hawaiian term that can mean toward the mountains or inland.Thursday, a day later.
Off the coast of Kihei on Friday morning, a holiday marking Hawaii's statehood, paddlers in outrigger canoes glided through Maalaea Bay about 20 miles south of Lahaina. Fishermen cast their lines from knee-deep water. And beachgoers strolled along the sand.
