During our trip to Maui, HI, Jeremy had the opportunity to sit down with Louis Romero, a retired Battalion Chief with the Maui Fire Department. He, along with many other retired members of the department, assisted after the devastating fires that consumed parts of the beautiful island. Chief Romero talks about the importance of having ancestral knowledge and understanding the environment. History repeats itself and their spirituality helps them understand their culture and the land they respect and love. This insightful and powerful conversation concludes with a beautiful song written by Chief Romero.
