As we talk about what is happening in Hawaiʽi, please remember that “Hawaiian” refers to the native people of Hawaiʽi. It does not mean someone who resides there. We are a people with our own culture, language, and history. Hawaiʽi residents or locals are a term for who live there.
And no, telling me that Hawaiian is an acceptable term for Hawaiʽi residents is erasure. When a Native person asks you to recognize them, please respect that. We shouldn’t be made less just because it’s easier for people. Be better. Be respectful.
If you would like to help with the tragic consequences following the wildfires in Hawaiʽi, please consider donating to the Maui Strong Fund.

Thanks for the link, I’ve wanted to give but haven’t been sure who to trust. You? Totally trustworthy and wonderful, real and highly valued.
Awww thank you. These people do a good job annd are on the ground doing the hard work. *hugs*
well…..for some reason it wouldn’t accept my payment, supposedly because my address details were wrong?
pretty sure I know where I live!
and what does my address matter for a Visa payment?? I’m pretty disappointed I can’t help out
Perhaps reach out to them. It might be that their servers are overloaded. I don’t know. You can also donate to the Maui Food Bank. https://mauifoodbank.org/
thanks for the info 🙂
