\"Collage<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s UH<\/abbr> News<\/em> Image of the Week is from University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa English undergraduate and honors program student Melissa Shields.<\/p>\n

Shields shared, “Collage: title: ‘Cup of Gold.’ Lahaina and Olowalu bear the weight of two tragic fires. In 2023, Lahaina witnessed a devastating fire that claimed the lives of 101 innocent people, while in 1790, over a 100 innocent lives, predominantly women and children, died at Olowalu due to cannon fire from a ship anchored there.<\/p>\n

“My thesis presentation for Fall 2024, under the direction of Professor Craig Howes, delves into the 1790 clash between Western ships and canoes on Maui Island and Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island and pivotal events that reshaped the history of the Kingdom of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>. Unfortunately, there exists no memorial at Olowalu to honor those who perished. Flowers, a symbol of renewal for these beautiful neighbors, are a heartfelt gesture for healing and solace. Mahalo.”<\/p>\n
