Our History, Our Future

People visiting South Maui for sun and sand wouldn’t know that the pre-contact shorelines of South Maui once sparkled with verdant wetlands that were filled with wildlife, fish ponds, and cultivated canoe plants. Fed by mauka rainfall and cared for by Native Hawaiian families with ancestral ties to these places, these lands were sacred to the people who called them home. It wasn’t until the 1970s that South Maui started looking like it does today.
