Maui suffered devastating fires last week, and now California battles its own emergency as a hurricane makes its way through the state.
Johnson took to Instagram to give his love and strength to the people of Hawaii as they work to rebuild Lahaina town amid the fires that left destruction on the Island of Maui and took over 100 lives.
He continued,"We know that. We know that this is who we are as kanaka, as a culture and a community, that when we're down, we come together and we rise. And we will. So stay strong, and to all of the people all around the world, all the families around the world who are sending our Hawaiian islands, our Hawaiian people, our Polynesian culture: thank you for sending us all your love, and your prayers and your support, your resources, your supplies, your money -- thank you.
"Thank you to our OGs, you know you are," Johnson said."I can't wait to come back home, and thank you so much for helping us put together what we are trying to put together, all in the spirit, as we know, of holding onto that anchor and our mission, and mission is to make sure that our Hawaiian land stays with our people."
