A city devastated by fire in Maui was a magnet for tourists. But for families from Lahaina, especially Native Hawaiians, it was a home with a deep history.
Almost half the hotel rooms on Maui are shut down for at least two weeks because of power outages related to wildfires that destroyed two Lahaina hotels, razed a historic commercial power center and continue to take a staggering human toll.
The historic Pioneer Inn was built in 1901. Now 30 of its 45 employees are homeless, and its chef is working with World Central Kitchen on rescue efforts.
