Be proud of the unity that is happening with the people and the Hawaiians. We don’t see this all the time! There’s so much love up there. For ignorant comments, we cannot change the minds of others but only believe wholeheartedly in our people and our beliefs.
Years ago I visited my family in Hawaii I had the honor to step on this holy mountain and I know why its loved and protected. The islands are a place of healing and should be treated with the respect that is due. I love Hawaii..🙏🏽

I heard today on npr that the Canary island alternative sight for this telescope was granted construction permits and has the approval of their legislators and public !

I love my people. My heart sings with all of you and my heart cries along with yours. Everyone on the Mauna on the islands and around the world who are standing with us my aloha goes out to you all.
Living in Hawaii for 6 years, I became embedded in the culture and the traditions that they practiced. I remember going up to Mauna Kea and thinking that I would never see anything more beautiful than the nature surrounding me. A part of me will always stay in Hawaii for the rest of my life. Living 5 minutes away from Pohoiki, fishing at Hilo Bay, and eating at Ken's after a long day. The Hawaiian people and culture are probably one of the most beautiful and enriching things I have ever experienced!
Aloha, I totally agree unfortunately the wealthy rig our country's economics to where most of the people that are up there probably all work done at these hotels and resorts because they don't have a choice they have to to take care of their families and thus you can't really blame them for not doing that down there by the beaches in fear of Maybe it affecting their work and their livelihood. Also, a vict'ry here and having them turn away from the mount to to go the Canary islands is huge for something like that a development like that in the future because they have something now that they can fall back on to say well look what they did when they banded together and fought back
Been to Hawaii twice, met locals and natives and have a fondness for both. This song made my leak from the passion of those who live there. THANKS TO ALL in this great song. I know not what it means by word but hope I am feeling, in my heart of this song meaning.
Malama pono to us Hawaiian people's on our Lady's Pele for our cause & beautifully nature's call MAUNA KEA for whatever reason it must be protected by the Hawaiian people's who were Born & Raise here Our Father's & the Lord's Christ Jesus is also keeping their's eyes on every mountain around the WORLDS.. Keep Hawaiian Land in Hawaiian Hands we will not go anywhere?!. Mahalo
Someone need to tell oprah. Why our land water oceans are a part of us. It's our responsibility to malama our aina, that's why Hawaii is Hawaii, we fight to keep Hawaii .prestin
Malama our aina? How much rubbish do you see on the side of the roads? How much crack pipes does HPD find? How much hawaiians are living and abusing the system? "Give me more EBT because I have 5 kids and I dont want to work because I dont trust anyone with my kids" that's the kind of excuses these hawaiians now days have! Aloha this, aloha that! Why dont people get real jobs instead of living off the land! Now that kind of bullshit is what you call desecration to our people! My cousin works up the mauna and he said for the past 4 years, he never did see anyone "worshipping" SMH
Hawaiians should put together a professional show for the tourists to see on Mauna Kea. It is beautiful music. Just put it with costumes and put Ikakai to work too. Could be a hit.
Love you all..Our anctester's are so proud of our people and to all that try help to save Our Mauna...Much Aloha Hawaiian's and Polynesian's Standing as one Mahalo Keakua..

The world as we know is dying. Pristine going the way of the dinasours. Technology has also helped mankind in so many ways but all of us know it has also destroyed our planet. In order to move forward we must learn from the past. In the end I believe the telescope will be built in the Canaries and justice served for this sacred place. Peace through Aloha has won on this day and the world was watching. Mauna Kea is smiling.
I saw this on my latest videos. At first I didn't know what the protest was all about. So I turn to the universal God call Google. And this is what I leaned. Why would Native Hawaiians object to a telescope? The problem is not the device, but the location. The mountain, called Mauna O Wakea by Native Hawaiians, is the tallest in the islands, and its summit is considered sacred in traditional Hawaiian culture - the place where the sky god, Wakea, met with Papa Hanau Moku, the earth goddess, leading to the creation of the islands. Only the highest-ranking chiefs were historically believed to be fit to go there. There are other cultural sites on the mountain, including a sacred lake, significant burial sites and a historic quarry where stone tools were made. Why do scientists want to build there? The Thirty Meter Telescope, designed by a consortium of universities and research institutes in the United States, Canada, China, India and Japan, will use an immense mirror and some of the world’s largest sensors to peer deep into the universe, providing images at 12 times the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope. At about 14,000 feet above sea level, the summit of Mauna Kea provides some of the world’s best viewing conditions of the night sky, with clear air and very little light pollution. That’s why there are already about a dozen other active telescopes there. What do the protesters hope to accomplish? Halting the telescope is the immediate aim, but the protesters’ larger goal is to bring wider attention to their grievances about the state’s economic interests being given priority over Native Hawaiian cultural and land use rights. Their cause has begun to resonate across the country, much as the Dakota Access dispute did. There have been supportive demonstrations not just in Honolulu but in mainland cities like Las Vegas, and more are planned. Native rights activists elsewhere have shared messages and images of support on social media. Hundreds of astronomers from around the world signed a letter published in the journal Nature that opposes the arrests of protesters and the ways the project has been pushed ahead. On the other hand, many Hawaii residents, including some Native Hawaiians, believe that the protests are misguided. They favor construction of the telescope, saying it will create 140 well-paid technical jobs and add $150 million a year to the state’s economy. Here is the full story.

Please take the time to read this and share with your family and friends. The "Protectors are the pure and innocent of the mauna Paul Takehiro Some interesting notes on the Mauna Kea Timeline: 1964 - Mauna Kea is identified by UH as an exceptional site for astronomical observation. 1968 - UH signs a 65-year general lease from BLNR for 13,321 acres of ceded lands at the summit. BLNR can terminate the lease if the lease terms are not met, including care for the mauna. A permit for “an obs ervatory”--meaning only one telescope-- was granted but numerous telescopes are built by UH without permits, input from Native Hawaiians and public hearings. BLNR later issues “after the fact” permits--again, without public hearings. 1974 - Governor George Ariyoshi, concerned that the activities on the mountain pose a threat to its “priceless qualities,” directs DLNR to make a Master Plan for the mauna. DLNR and UH draft 10 different plans, but the speed of development on Mauna Kea makes some of them obsolete before they are completed. 1975 - The Au dubon Society resists the installation of the 15-meter sub-millimeter antenna. 1995 - UH cleans up trash accumulating on the summit only after the Sierra Club files a complaint. 1998 - The State Auditor releases a scathing report documenting 30 years of mismanagement of Mauna Kea by both the BLNR and UH and reveals that, despite spending $50 million per year on telescope operations, no observatory paid more than $1 a year rent. 1999 - Despite the audit, they build two more telescopes. 2004 - Subpoenaed documents reveal that sewage, ethylene glycol, diesel fuel, and toxic mercury were spilled on the mauna. 2005 - A follow-up audit finds that UH’s management “still falls short.” A NASA environmental study concludes that 35 years of astronomy activity has caused “significant, substantial and adverse” harm. 2007 - Third Circuit Court revokes NASA’s permit for an observatory project because of the state’s lack of a comprehensive management plan for the mauna. 2010 - UH’s new Comprehensive Management Plan includes a “Decommissioning Plan” for removing observatories and restoring the site. To date, only one of the existing 13 observatories has started the process. A UH environmental study concludes that astronomy activities have caused “substantial and adverse” impacts to the mauna’s natural and cultural resources. 2011 - The Subaru Observatory spills 100 liters of orange coolant. 2013 - BLNR hears UH’s request for a new 65-year general lease, to expire in 2078. UH’s undergraduate governing body, representing 14,000 students, passes a resolution opposing a new lease. 2014 - Another follow-up audit finds UH failed to adopt a single rule to manage public activities on the mountain. 2015 - Governor David Ige temporarily stops construction on Mauna Kea after 300 mauna protectors peacefully block roads to the proposed TMT site and 31 are arrested. A petition with 53,000 signatures calling for a halt to the TMT and the arrests of protectors is delivered to Ige. UH’s President admits that “[UH] has not met all of [its] obligations to the mountain or the expectations of the community.” 2017 - Another audit finds that none of the 8 recommendations in the 2014 audit had been completely implemented. UH and DLNR have also failed and to adequately implement 32 of 54 management actions that concern Native Hawaiians. (Original post by Heidi Hart).

I saw this on my latest videos. At first I didn't know what the protest was all about. So I turn to the universal God call Google.
And this is what I leaned.
Why would Native Hawaiians object to a telescope?
The problem is not the device, but the location. The mountain, called Mauna O Wakea by Native Hawaiians, is the tallest in the islands, and its summit is considered sacred in traditional Hawaiian culture - the place where the sky god, Wakea, met with Papa Hanau Moku, the earth goddess, leading to the creation of the islands. Only the highest-ranking chiefs were historically believed to be fit to go there. There are other cultural sites on the mountain, including a sacred lake, significant burial sites and a historic quarry where stone tools were made.
Why do scientists want to build there?
The Thirty Meter Telescope, designed by a consortium of universities and research institutes in the United States, Canada, China, India and Japan, will use an immense mirror and some of the world’s largest sensors to peer deep into the universe, providing images at 12 times the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope. At about 14,000 feet above sea level, the summit of Mauna Kea provides some of the world’s best viewing conditions of the night sky, with clear air and very little light pollution. That’s why there are already about a dozen other active telescopes there.

Halting the telescope is the immediate aim, but the protesters’ larger goal is to bring wider attention to their grievances about the state’s economic interests being given priority over Native Hawaiian cultural and land use rights. Their cause has begun to resonate across the country, much as the Dakota Access dispute did.
There have been supportive demonstrations not just in Honolulu but in mainland cities like Las Vegas, and more are planned. Native rights activists elsewhere have shared messages and images of support on social media. Hundreds of astronomers from around the world signed a letter published in the journal Nature that opposes the arrests of protesters and the ways the project has been pushed ahead.
On the other hand, many Hawaii residents, including some Native Hawaiians, believe that the protests are misguided. They favor construction of the telescope, saying it will create 140 well-paid technical jobs and add $150 million a year to the state’s economy.

DLNR and UH draft 10 different plans, but the speed of development on Mauna Kea makes some of them obsolete before they are completed.
1975 - The Au dubon Society resists the installation of the 15-meter sub-millimeter antenna.
1995 - UH cleans up trash accumulating on the summit only after the Sierra Club files a complaint.
1998 - The State Auditor releases a scathing report documenting 30 years of mismanagement of Mauna Kea by both the BLNR and UH and reveals that, despite spending $50 million per year on telescope operations, no observatory paid more than $1 a year rent.
1999 - Despite the audit, they build two more telescopes.
2004 - Subpoenaed documents reveal that sewage, ethylene glycol, diesel fuel, and toxic mercury were spilled on the mauna.
2005 - A follow-up audit finds that UH’s management “still falls short.” A NASA environmental study concludes that 35 years of astronomy activity has caused “significant, substantial and adverse” harm.
2007 - Third Circuit Court revokes NASA’s permit for an observatory project because of the state’s lack of a comprehensive management plan for the mauna.
2010 - UH’s new Comprehensive Management Plan includes a “Decommissioning Plan” for removing observatories and restoring the site. To date, only one of the existing 13 observatories has started the process. A UH environmental study concludes that astronomy activities have caused “substantial and adverse” impacts to the mauna’s natural and cultural resources.
2011 - The Subaru Observatory spills 100 liters of orange coolant.
2013 - BLNR hears UH’s request for a new 65-year general lease, to expire in 2078. UH’s undergraduate governing body, representing 14,000 students, passes a resolution opposing a new lease.
2014 - Another follow-up audit finds UH failed to adopt a single rule to manage public activities on the mountain.
2015 - Governor David Ige temporarily stops construction on Mauna Kea after 300 mauna protectors peacefully block roads to the proposed TMT site and 31 are arrested. A petition with 53,000 signatures calling for a halt to the TMT and the arrests of protectors is delivered to Ige. UH’s President admits that “[UH] has not met all of [its] obligations to the mountain or the expectations of the community.”
2017 - Another audit finds that none of the 8 recommendations in the 2014 audit had been completely implemented. UH and DLNR have also failed and to adequately implement 32 of 54 management actions that concern Native Hawaiians.
