Trinity, Kyla, Nayah & Noelle Storer of Lahaina

This talk-story is a contribution to Hui Mo‘olelo: Lahaina, a foundational archive supporting the town’s rebuild following the 2023 wildfires. These sessions serve as living resources of community knowledge, helping to ensure that Lahaina’s heritage and traditions directly inform future projects like the Lahaina Memorial, the Royal Complex, and the Commercial Core. Through nostalgic reflections on daily routines and shared local haunts, this group of friends defines the authentic spirit of aloha as a protective, interconnected culture that stands in contrast to modernization and displacement. By listening, you are engaging with the seeds of collective healing and future public art, ensuring the Lahaina of tomorrow remains rooted in the memories and resilience of its people.
