the unhoused crisis among native hawaiians and what do you know about native hawaiians who were unhousedhow the wildfires have affected them? >> i think there's a certain perception of native hawaiians who are unsheltered that does not fit with reality. some of the unsheltered hawaiian community set continue today were occupations of land that was getting seized. there were like, we don't want to cooperate with this new extractive economy that you all created so we're going to live by ourselves in our own community, the beach, govern ourselves. they are quite organized and living in a way that is subsisted in harmony with nature. it is not to be glamorized. a lot face really dire condition stopping a part of this capitalist system, but all of them are doing it based on really strong and sensible beliefs. now, when a climate crisis hits, when a disaster hits, it is going to impact these people worse no doubt. we need to make sure relief and recovery efforts in the longer-term are prioritizing the low income and indigenous people that -- some are still unaccounted for. some don't have ids.

not hawaiian.have all chipped in and worked hard to show love for our place by participating really providing supplies. i was warmed -- i think government failed in providing the necessities of protection and safety and health for people. our people stepped up. i was able to his opaque bringing in supplies -- i was able to participate by bringing in supplies. hopefully, this continues, whether it is medical concerns or providing -- bringing in people. whether we have the poisons were ash. you might find remnants of paint and lead. amy: we just have 30 seconds but are you concerned and the rebuilding process of native hawaiians being pushed out? >> my big concern has been that at the forefront is the native hawaiian population, the families from lahaina should be at the forefront of developing, managing, and planning not just what is going on now but in the revitalization of lahaina to ensure that native hawaiian populations continues to exist and it doesn't come replaced. hopefully were able to pus

i know you're from the hawaiian island of oahu.u know, since this wildfire. what has been on your mind? >> for sure. first and foremost, our deepest aloha is sent over to all of maui, those affected personally, as well as indirectly because we as the hawaiian people, right, i live here in las vegas so no matter where our feet takes us, that connection to our homelands will always be there. so there's a lot that's been happening of course on the ground zero as well as here on the continental u.s. so -- >> what are some of those things that have been happening that you've been involved in, you know, while your heart is, you know, being extended to the people of maui. >> well, of course, right, with the help of social media and a lot that's been covered through news stations, that yearning to want to help, that anxiousness. so immediately here in las vegas, a group of local hawaiian businesses, whether eateries or what have you have became -- so the second day, immediately right after the call was made out here in vegas to send aid, r

it is a historical capital of the hawaiian kingdom. there was so much lost there in terms of cultural objects and not just loss of life and loss of livelihoods and homes. it's really kind of compounded. so, to are seeing lahaina talked about in tourist terms only, it is also doubly hurtful. because this is a place that has been defined by tourism, because tourism has been one of the mainstays of the economy. and that is not necessarily by choice. that is because folks have not come up with different kinds of alternatives. i think people are always trying, but once the entrenchment of tourism happens, it's really difficult to come up with other kinds of things, despite the fact that tourism is a very volatile industry. kristen: that is why there is this love-hate relationship. i also want to ask you, even if that was not your desired industry and even if there were inequalities you don't love, if everybody there noe was taken care of, lived well, had homes, had the resources they need, perhaps those feelings would not be as strong. but

the demand for accountability is growing louder on the hawaiian island of maui tonight amid the search for something to explain how so many, how so much could be taken so quickly. no cause of the fire has been determined, but the local power company, hawaiian electric, is coming under increased scrutiny tonight over how it responded as live power lines toppled under 80-mile-per-hour winds spewing showers of sparks, potential sources for ignition of the incredibly fast-moving fires. the utility acknowledging shutting off power as conditions worsened was not a simple solution, but no search for answers in all of this is more urgent than accounting for the missing. over 100 have been found dead, and there is still so much ground to be searched. tom llamas once again leads our coverage from maui. >> reporter: tonight, search teams in lahaina continue their heartbreaking work already more than 100 bodies found, and they're still looking for the lost what was once a paradise is now a mass grave. >> the tears just constantly coming for the families have lost a lot. >> reporter: the flames des
