Tiare Lawrence

Community Advocate

Lahaina, Maui

Radiating a love for her community and her island of Maui, Tiare is a true advocate for the ʻāina. Steeped in Hawaiian culture she was raised in Lahaina, a professional Hula dancer and terrific waterwoman known for charging some of the biggest waves. Tiare now stewards a project at Kahoma, a loΚ»i that she and her Κ»ohana are reclaiming on ancesteral land. After getting the stream restored, they have been re-planing the land by re-building centuries-old taro patches and seeing renewed activity of native aquatic species. β€œBut the real beauty of it is that it’s feeding our people. We’re now able to restore loβ€˜i to the community and see the benefits of the mauka to makai connectivity,” says Tiare.
