"I want to talk about creating a sail plan—how our people became part of this land, how Hawai'i became Hawai'i, and how we became Hawaiians. This community thrived by embracing core values: love for family, care for the land, and building community. When our ancestors first arrived, these values helped them thrive. If Lahaina can adopt this approach, we'll have a clear path forward."
