Native Hawaiians are pushing for the preservation of their history and heritage following the Maui wildfires. There is concern that the coverage of Lahaina and Maui's history focuses more on Settler Colonial History, rather than the Native Hawaiian History of the region. The loss of historic buildings and churches is seen as a loss of settler colonial history. However, there has been less coverage of the Native Hawaiian history, which includes the region being viewed as sacred and important to their royal family and the Hawaiian kingdom.
