I’m Skye “Kolea” Kolealani Razon-Olds—a Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner, community organizer, and values-based leader with over two decades of experience advancing equity, resilience, and self-determination for Native Hawaiian communities.

Most recently, I worked on the Maui wildfire recovery programs, designing and implementing long-term housing and distribution efforts through the Disaster Recovery Centers. My team and I housed over 1,000 individuals, furnished more than 900 homes, and distributed 13,000+ supply kits—delivering over 18,000 essential services to wildfire survivors. In 2025, I was honored as a Pacific Business News Forty Under 40 honoree for my work across sectors.

I was raised between Hawaiʻi and the continental U.S., deeply inspired by the fierce aloha ʻāina of my matriarchal lines. They grounded me in cultural values and taught me the importance of advocacy, justice, and standing firm in service to our lāhui. Their guidance continues to shape every part of my work.

Today, I serve as Chair and Cultural Representative on the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources Nā Ala Hele Trails Council. Additionally, alongside my ʻohana, I’ve advocated for the protection of our iwi kūpuna—pushing for transparency, preservation in place, and culturally appropriate reburials.

I’m also the founder of Kanaka Climbers and co-founder of the Indigenous Field Guide—initiatives that blend cultural education with environmental stewardship, using both in-person engagement and digital tools to protect our resources and heritage.

I serve on the boards of Maui United Way, Kuleana Corals, and Urban Native Collective as part of my commitment to directly supporting Native communities and our environment.

When I’m not in meetings, at the beach, or in the mountains, I’m home with my three keiki, husband, five dogs, and seven tortoises—reminded every day that the future we build must be rooted, resilient, and bold.
