A famous double-hulled canoe, made by a Hawaiian master carver, becomes emblematic of the rich heritage destroyed by the wildfires. Is reclaiming it possible?
That 1976 achievement made Hokule’a, as the massive canoe was named, famous. Sequeira built its masts.he recounted years later
Sequeira retired from law enforcement to become a full-time artist. “I feel that the Hawaiians developed the highest form of wood sculpturing in the Pacific,” heDecades after Mo’olele, he designed and began building a 62-foot double-hulled canoe named Mo’okiha O Pi’ilani — “Sacred Lizard of Maui.” At the time of the wildfires, both were owned by“We are a floating classroom,” said Timothy “Timi”
“That canoe will bring hope,” said Gilliom, who wants to build a new Mo’olele.

Lucas first tried to reach his grandfather’s home, but the roads were blocked, and he knew then that it would burn. He headed north instead, using old sugar cane field roads, running over bushes, piercing a tire and hearing exploding propane tanks as he made his way to a family friend’s place, where he slept in the truck until his mother managed to reach him two days later.“It was like a video game,” said Lucas, who has a passion for Xbox. “I just had a lot of adrenaline.
“There are some things I never did get to learn and there are others I had basically mastered,” Smith said. “And those things, it’s left to me to pass to my son.” Her father wanted him “to feel like that was his place,” said Cherie Sequeira, who is a hair and makeup artist. “Everything in it was for him to learn and look after.”
