"I am not against science, but I am against irresponsible decision making in science" 👏
This
That lady speaks like a strong leader... Damn!
Sis at you live in Hawaii you will understand what's going on right
She didn't prove _how_ the TMT is irresponsible science. The TMT team has taken every reasonable measure to mitigate all environmental, ecosystem and cultural heritage concerns to make all stakeholders happy. 😁🌸
@@rainstrmds shut up you don't understand what's going on in Hawaii RN the TMT is bad and they don't understand the pass up that mountain is actually not a mountain it's extinct volcano
This is not Jason Momoa the movie star... this is Jason Momoa, a native.. standing together with his ohana,
not because he will get a lot of likes or a few pics in the papers, but because he believes in saving part
of his culture, part of his history and part of his childrens future. This is a man to be respected just as
all the others standing there should be respected.
Very well said! If you have even been lucky enough to enjoy these magical places on these beautiful islands, this should matter to you! Being exposed to the culture, history, language, beauty, and sacred majesty of the islands and people gives a deep respect and appreciation. My first trip to Hawaii changed me for the better! I stand with the indigenous ohana in preserving these scared places and standing together to preserve this culture.

Hawai'i will always be my home, from thousands of miles away, these people, this aina has my heart and soul.
I was raised in Hawai'i. This made me cry. Sacred space needs to stay sacred. I learned from the kapuna, i have ohana there still. I miss my island home. I stand for the Mauna!
But his mum is white and he actually grew up in America not Hawaii
I could feel the pain in that woman’s voice in my whole body...I feel for her, colonialism hasn’t ended and she wants to save her people and her culture....heartbreaking 💔
How is the TMT colonialism? It's a high altitude mountain top telescope. They're not building it on top of any sacred holy sites (site was thoroughly surveyed and vetted). The native people are free to practice their religion, traditions and customs on Mauna Kea. How is their culture being destroyed?
@@maelstrom4126 Yep I agree. IF this were happening to Christians or Jewish folks, these people would say SEND IN THE BULLDOZERS right away.
@@jsweizston5410 Everyone of those cultures has telescopes. Ever hear of the Vatican Observatory? 😅 If the Christians, Jews, or Muslims had a mountain with the same properties as Mauna Kea, I guarantee you that they would be putting observatories up there. A telescope is the most innocent and benign human structure you can put up on a sacred mountain. They're not building an oil pipeline, weapons testing range, nuclear disposal site, etc. It's just a telescope that wants to look at space and explore the universe. This isn't a Holy War.
And, no, the TMT is not being constructed 'right away'. It has been patiently planned for over ten years. The TMT addresses all cultural, ecological and cultural concerns.
@@maelstrom4126 Colonialism is exploitation of peoples and natural resources to the benefit the dominating nation. The tourism industry and now corporate Science is modern day colonialism. Mauna kea - the natural resource -- is being exploited to benefit the scientific research organizations and universities in Mainland USA and foreign countries like Japan and India. The majority of the money that is generated by the telescopes on the Mauna Kea go outside the state. What little stays in the state benefits the University of Hawaii, therefore virtually zero goes back to the native hawaiian community. TMT is a Caltech project. Caltech will get most of the benefits from it. Not University of Hawaii and definitely not the Native Hawaiian community. So therefore TMT can be seen as modern-day colonialism, where our land/natural resource is being exploited to the benefit of an outside entity
@@maelstrom4126 The land is sacred. There are MILLIONS of other places to put a telescope
That BEAUTIFUL ELDER should be listened to; her soul is crying out to these people who just keep TAKING!
Leona Love most of my family still live on reservations, I’m Creek Nation. They will never stop, it will never be enough. They take and consume and they kill the Mother who has birthed us all. This is in the name of profit not science. Nothing is holy or sacred to them.
Nikki Cooper I could feel her love for the land that is THEIRS. I cried because she was so beautiful .
@@Just-Nikki You are definitely exaggerating a telescope. How is a telescope for profit? They observe the universe, expand human knowledge, advance technology, unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, ponder deep philosophical questions, marvel at the beauty of creation and protect the planet from cosmic threats (such as asteroids). The TMT exhaustively surveyed the build site and confirmed that there's no heiau, ahu, ki'i pohaku, kanu iwi, kanu piko or places of pule or mele. It doesn't obstruct any religious, cultural, traditional or recreational practice. It's one mile away walking distance and six hundred feet in elevation below the holy summit. Mauna Kea is a 13,800 ft, 52,500 acre, 1,000,000 year old volcano. It's absolutely massive. And TMT has a tiny 1.5 acre building footprint.
Sunny Sied I was speaking on more than a telescope and I think you know that.
@@Just-Nikki Astronomy had nothing do with the negative history of the Native Americans or Native Hawaiians and I think you know that, too.
I cried so much while watching this. Hawaii should not be a state. It should be an independent nation as it once was before it was stolen.

I would love for all indigenous people to be given back what was once there’s ancestral lands before the corruption and greed of one group descended upon the rest of the world.
@@jacquelinepayne4737 My family's ancestral lands are underwater now as a result of climate change fueled by the unsustainable practices of Western greed.

"We will stand like mountains.. Unshakable..... "
That's powerful
Saying mountains are 'unshakable' suggests that you don't know anything about them. Kind of funny actually. Move to the Big Island and Pele will explain the joke to you;)
I thought that was beautiful.
I wonder if the ways of the indigenous people are ignored because they show humans the true ways to behave towards each other.

This sacred mountain should be protected like any national park. This needs to be protected now!
I'm with the Hawaiian people and water protectors ✊✊Greetings from Los Angeles🇺🇸
@@skywolf2012 thank you so much we appreciate you♥️♥️
Right!
there is a military site at the base that tests bombs in the area, people are so against that too
Megs Hein yeah it’s hard to feel comfortable next to a war zone
I only had to see the mountains behind the tv show Lost to know this was the land of dreams and nightmares
"Not against science, but against irresponsible decision making in the name of science" 👏
The protesters lied and said TMT is nuclear powered, gonna drill into the aquifer system and steal/poison the water, gonna use dynamite to blast a giant fifteen story hole into the mauna, is a secret U.S./Japanese military weapon, as big as a NFL stadium, bigger than all maunakea telescopes combined, gonna shave off the summit and let in destructive storms, cause a volcanic eruption and a buncha other crazy stuff. The kia'i have spread some crazy conspiracy theories. These islands don't have wolves, but the protesters sure know how to cry wolf.🐺
The protesters stated, on the public record, in the contested case hearing for the TMT that they want to REMOVE ALL TELESCOPES from the mauna. They don't care about the compromise to remove 5 telescopes in exchange for 1 new (which is legally binding and actionable since it's part of the TMT permit). They claim they 'love science', but they don't join the negotiation table, help find solutions, create win-win scenarios and look for ways where science and culture can coexist on the mauna. Not very akamai. Does it look like they love science?
*_I am Brazilian and I feel the pain of all Hawaiians, I am against deforestation and everything that harms nature !! We are all Mauna Kea_*

I'm not Hawaiian, but this made me cry so much. I'm from the Philippines and this is happening to our indigenous tribes too. Their lands are seized, their culture, their traditions, are trampled on. Our Lumad people even face genocide because they resisted signing over their lands.
I hope you people keep fighting for your sacred land and your rights. Fight for your identity. Fight for your culture.

To be clear:
1. The Theory of "Evolution (as proposed in Charles Darwin's book: 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of the Favored Races in the Struggle for Life')" is the Racism/White supremacy ideology (and the theory is false).
2. French biologist Louis Pasteur began exposing the Theory of Evolution to be false several years after the publication of Darwin's book.
3. The Theory of Evolution has no Formula (characteristic of theories without substance in fact, truth or law).
4. There is no gene in the entire genome spectrum to account for the claim of genetic evolution.
5. There are no facts or evidence to prove or support the claim that organisms change into other organisms of a more complex nature through any "unguided" or random "process".
6. The value placed on the Theory of Evolution has been connected to it's claim (a false claim) that so-called White people are "Evolved" beyond so-called non-White people through the "process of Evolution" (centered around the "stronger" dominating, mistreating or wiping-out the "weaker" etc. including the idea that the more so-called non-White the people, the closer to the "ape-man" etc.).
7. Science means Knowledge. Knowledge is to Observe, Learn and Respect. Observe is to look and listen. Learn is to find facts or find answers. Respect is to consider or think about the truth.
Right brother
I wish we had this much fight in the Philippines. Our own people don’t support the riots and rallies for the Lumad and other humanitarian issues.
I am a Brazilian who lives in Amazon. I support your protest

Just say the WORD Oglala people and we will help you take the lands the Lord gave you back ..... and trust me this country will be in peace and safe again. 🇩🇴🇩🇴 by your side. God bless the Native (true) Americans 🙏
Great quote but he certainly didn't make it in 1822
When are humans gonna realize. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. No reason to desecrate this sacred area. 🌸🌺
Christine M_Believe70 exactly zz why some government think they are propriety of earth land .. we all part of this planet .. and after people star talk discovery habitat planet out of earth .. when government in our planet don’t leave people living own lands ... what point?
Amen.
I totally agree with you!
Typically patriarchal behavior is all about control, power, and money, that is exactly what is going on here. Like the lady said in her extremely powerful speech, if they roll over us in this then they may as well take it all (paraphrased). Bless you all, and keep up the good fight. In tears, bravery, & love, keep on fighting the power.
@@87Marilia Because the U.S Government owns the land. deal with it.
I was born in Hawaii in the island of Maui but i am a Tongan, but my heart goes out to my fellow polynesian brothers and sisters
I feel like nothing is sacred anymore. Keep the fight strong 👏🏽
All is sacred. Now and forever.
This makes me want to cry. If the people don’t want it then leave it be. Respect the people, respect the land and respect the culture.
Amen
Like seriously.

Here's a bit of the Hawaiian Glossary mentioned in the video:
Mauna - Mountain
'Ohana - Family
Mana - Life Energy that flows through all things
Kupuna - Elder, Ancestors
'Eha - Pain
Kanaka Maoli - Native Person
Kanaka Maoli - Maoli Person
Thank you for that clarification. Having that extra knowledge adds more depth to a deep and meaningful video.
Thanks for that. Really helps understand the video better!
Thank you.

I can't stop crying for the land of Hawaii, my heart breaks because of the destruction and taking of the land of not only Hawaii but earth. Love from this Maori girl in Australia.
I’m not Hawaiian but I feel for the people. I am with the people of Hawaii in spirit . Thanks for this Jason
Breaks my heart seeing this. We have a very very similar issue happening in New Zealand with Ihumātao at the moment where the government are lying and trying to build housing over a sacred burial ground.
Chuurr
I heard bout that. Damn. All native people in the same predicament. Tryna keep the pest off our ancestral lands. The pest are these wealthy folk who keep tryna make a dollar off of everything. Pretty soon they going charge people to breathe air. They already do it with water. In my opinion of the observatory’s on Mauna Kea. Why don’t they remove the others which are obsolete compared to the tmt telescope and have just the one observatory. Come on government peoples start working with the natives instead of tricking them. On the matter of asteroids or any celestial objects coming toward us don’t you think one of those 13 observatories on Mauna Kea would have seen something by now? Duhh but they haven’t let me guess cause tmt needs to be built to see dangerous objects flying our way. Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo to make people think tmt is a good thing.
As Aotearoa stood with us on the Mauna, this Tongan Hawaiian stands with you.

It’s happening all around the world. The government don’t care about the people.
My heart is absolutely broken. This is the same disrespect I saw during Standing Rock... When will indigenous people get the respect they deserve? How long are they going to suffer? How long is it going to be ignored? Thank you Jason... For saying something.
Greetings n many blessings to u from the Shoshone-Paiute tribes, NV/ID, God bless u n all*
you know how people will boycott a product or a movie? how about if we let the corporations and libertainment industry who support the democrat leadership in Hawai'i know, we will pull our $$$$$$upport until they get onboard here...
I've thought for years it was the greatest failure in American consciousness that we abandoned Tibet, allowing invasion, genocide, torture, imprisonment, sterilization and the loss of culture and historic artifacts... to get cheaper electronics from china and low cost food products and medications we shouldn't trust...
Wake up America, the image of those who claim to care about the poor and minority is tested in moments like this and the high rate of death to innocents in Chicago daily, and as long as the media ignore the issue in favor of political favors, too few are willing to do the right thing.
My son fell in love with the ocean when he was 15 months old on his 1st visit to the beautiful islands of Hawai'i. Sadly, we could only stay for 2 short weeks. After our 1st night back home, he popped up bright & early & said beach, mama, beach. I explained to him that we cant go to the beach this morning, we aren't in hawai'i anymore. He cried every morning that week.
Hawai'i is a place that wraps around your heart. Its embrace stays with you long after you leave. The spirit of aloha is amazing. Stay strong my Hawaiian brothers & sisters.
I live here now and feel we have to do our part to support the protection of these sacred lands even though I feel part of the problem. How heart wrenching. ❤ I feel so grateful to be here. Mahalo for this video. 🤙
If you live there, then you would know that kanaka have used the Mauna for everything (quarrying, farming, hunting, gathering, military drills, battles, etc). Also, you would know that the Native Hawaiians inflicted a great deal of environmental damage due to over-hunting, over-harvesting, introduction of invasive plant and animals species, fire clearing for agriculture, etc. Modern telescopes have huge requirements and obligations to be environmentally, ecologically and culturally responsible. They don't even want to look at the TMT plan, compromises or permit process. The protesters are 100% over-reacting. Even worse, they're unwilling to work together to find a happy compromise where science and culture can coexist on the Mauna
I will always say to fight and keep fighting.... as a American Indian, we go through this all the time but the government always wins. Just broken promises and treaties .Keep fighting ❤️
Wei Wei
I remember Standing Rock!!!!
It also PISSES ME OFF, that EVERY CULTURE & ETHNICITY HAS GOTTEN THEIR “APOLOGIES”......WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUR PEOPLE’S????
It’s Times Like These that I’m Ashamed of the Color Of My Skin!!!
{although in my defense, I’m CELTIC 1st & White 2nd}
STAND TALL ✊! We are strong together
@Meir Fox
"White" is a social construct. It really has no real meaning, just like "red," "black" or "yellow" don't. Celtic is who she REALLY is. Glad to see more people claiming their ethnicity rather than colors!
It’s not white people doing this anyway. Just their leaders... lol smh.
A lot of "American Indians" stopped fighting for the land because they were told repeatedly that they were from Africa.
They need to respect sacred lands!
Stay strong ALWAYS! Best of wishes from Puerto Rico!🇵🇷
That's right! I find the government very disrespectful to the people and the lands!!
I was blown away. I didn’t know this was going, we need to educate ourselves on these issues and stand with the indigenous people. This is their land let respect it and be done with it. 😢❤
I’m from iraq and I stand with my Hawaii brothers. Imagine some stranger comes your house.. where your ancestors lived and died in. and says I want to build something on it. You should have the right to refuse and they should accept with out any question. My land was taken away from me by the USA and there was nothing we can do about it now. They promised us freedom, but gave us isis. Don’t give up
"how can you be so cold-hearted" my heart... it breaks....
All the love she is giving at the same time her pain!!
Watching this made my heart break aswell and I was crying 😢 much strength love and endurance to these people. You're in my thoughts and in my heart ❤ oh and I forgot I'm going to donate at puuhuluhulu.com and i am going to share the heck out of this video. Words are nice, but that's all they are...words. I can't do much ,but every little bit helps in my book to support this cause. Thank you Jason for standing with them in person where so many of us can't and bringing awareness. I just watched Aquaman last night and this community doesn't need a king they need a hero like you and in their fight they are all true heros and warriors! Aloha!
Aunty is truly showing us kapu aloha.. the pain she feels and still standing in love and truth 💓 our kupuna are so strong 💓💓💓
They sold their souls for a handful of cash. They have no heart left. You can see it in how the cops turn their backs on her when she tries to hand them the lei.

They can't all they want is to destroy if they don't have a history of their own then they'll destroy those that do, as a Celt my people have bore the brunt of this but our blood by its nature boils and keeps us stubborn until our very last breath, I send my will and spirit to your people in all of your struggles in your hour of need, by the Mother Goddess of Alba, as we are also seafaring peoples we know the importance of the three sacred landmarks, horizon land and sea🗿🌅🏔️
Mainland ppl will never understand the mana, the love, ive walked the last 4yrs & have experienced states Oregon, California...these ppl look at us w/ jealously, saying we are ignorant & stupid, but they have not been here to know the love of God, our land is vibrant, our food, we eat like kings & queens here, are amimal, fruit,& vegetables taste like no other place, because they are free to grow, to graze, not lock up in cages, we are blessed, sad they'll will never understand. Much love ❤️ much respect 🙏 rey
Leave the native people alone, my goodness.
I am not Hawaiian nor been to Hawaii but I feel the pain. I watch as developers destroy this earth for profit and it breaks my soul and I feel helpless. This is beautiful people coming together and saying No! I pray your voices are heard not only in Hawaii but around the world humans need to realize that we cannot keep killing our earth. We need to protect her and let her thrive or we will not survive.

I just about wrote the EXACT same words in the opening sentence of my comment, but decided to wait and watch Jason's video before commenting even though I know exactly what it's about out of respect.
It’s A Season of Life
You Got It!!! 🤙🏼
You don’t have to be Hawaiian. Your a good human being & you have a connection to the aina. Thankyou please keep sending prayers ❤️
I agree with everything you said, and I think the native Hawaiians fight is a noble one. However, just so everyone is informed, what they are fighting against is a very large telescope being put up on the mountain. So it technically would not be for profit, and I think the astronomers overlooked the negative impact such a building would have because they saw their endeavor as worthwhile. Obviously the project should have been halted a long time ago, as soon as the native Hawaiians said no. But yea just thought I'd add that info for context.
As an African I feel your pain by the deepest parts in my soul. Sharing may not cause any change but I will do it so you know we are with you.
We are Mauna Kea
God bless you
It takes a disenfranchised minority group to understand the struggle and pain of another. Your African brothers and sisters stand in solidarity with you. Our mother Africa is continually being ripped apart today. She is being robbed of her precious resources as is the rain forests, the Alaskan Glaciers. The Inuit in Canada. The Native American Indians in the USA.The list goes on and on. We need to stand in solidarity with all our indigenous brothers and sisters in a unified front. ALOHA🌋⛰
I agree with you completely let’s do our part to help these people protect their land.
I felt all the pain from here ( Brazil) I cried a lot watching this video. This strong and wisdom people is my inspiration from now and then... The Aloha spirit should be in all hearts around the world... for sure, we will be better humanity. I hope that others nations will help somehow this sacred Island or the new American President.
The pain in her voice is breaking my heart 😢😢😢 this is devastating what there doing to there people & culture
The people and the land. Mauna Kea , stay strong.
🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤
not a celebrity, a native man standing up for his state
I was in tears when the elder was crying, how could you not have empathy for one's culture and heritage as human beings. You come to other people's homes and lands and do whatever. Yes, we need science, we do, but when people say no... there's a reason, especially on sacred land.
No such thing as a "sacred" land
All of us are indigenous to somewhere. We should all recognize our old ways at stewards of this whole planet. I am Celtic Shamanic. My people came from the Islands out between Scotland and Ireland. Our Mother needs to be recognized and Balanced with the Father.
Mauna Kea!, stay strong!..The people and the land!.

Good job, Momoa! Proud of you my brudda for getting this message out.
Beyond this telescope is the opportunity for the world to see how we in Hawai'i protest. We might be angry, frustrated, and saddened by leadership's disability to make good decisions. And even with that, we protest in peace, we come together as one, and we respect each other and our aina; "this is where ALOHA lives."
The glimpse of Walter Ritte tears my heart out. He has sacrificed so much for so long. Mahalo, Walter. 🤙💐

I appreciate how Jason is using his status as a platform to get word out to those around the world who may not know or care about what's happening in Hawaii. Good job bro keep it up.
Breaks my heart💔when is enough enough?? Praying for you Hawaii🙏🙌💜
I’m proud of their strength to stand now, we as a species must send all the positive energy to them. Give them the energy to succeed. I send all my love and power to you all. 🇨🇦♥️ live in. Light/love and Love/light
The beauty that thrives was meant to be preserved by science if not made better . How can we claim to be human if we don't respect the majesty of your land and respect it's sacred grounds .

I am not Hawaiian but I am human. My heart is breaking and I am weeping in agreement with the Hawaiian people. This is so so wrong.
omg, I don't know why I'm crying. This has touched my soul. I feel this so deeply
Thank you for the tears and the goosebumps this morning. This is beyond inspiring. As someone who also loves Hawai'i and has lived upon the Aina and drank of her water and eaten of her fruit and received aloha from the people, and giving Aloha back, I am drinking in this kapu Aloha and beginning to understand the words of Pua Case when she says that this is the training ground for every movement. This is how we change the world. With love. Mahalo Nui Loa. 💖
They stole our land and killed my ancestors too...I feel your pain.😪 they sold our sacred mother. Standing with you in Spirit.
I'm a construction worker. Specifically civil construction (bulldozers excavators etc.) And if I was assigned that project and realized what was going on I would shut off my machine and walk off that mountain. Respecting people and their culture/religion comes before anything. God bless!
There is no such thing as religion.
I love science and I am an avid lover of astronomy, but this is too much, sorry to the Indigenous Hawaiian people for having to go through this for the past half century. My heart is with you from Greece, keep your fight up. 💖
Brah, the TMT conservation district permit legally requires that five scopes be removed and restored to nature in exchange for one new one. That's an excellent compromise.
I am a new subscriber to Jason's channel Mahalo Jason for making this video and raising awareness for the cause of these BEAUTIFUL indigenous people! I live on the mainland in Cali and was Blessed to live on the Big Island for a short time in 2003. I was lucky enough to spend time & talk story with the Kaipapa Family of Hilo. I have nothing but respect and love for the Native Hawaiian People. The words of the Elder woman ring true around the world! Science should not and MUST Not desecrate a Native Peoples lands ever! Mauna Kea is sacred! Ohana is sacred! Keep fighting for what is right and good! Aloha 🙏❤
Sacred land? In 1819, King Kamehameha II abolished the old, ancestral religion, commanded all the heiau and religious artifacts to be destroyed, terminated the harsh, oppressive kapu religious legal system and fought a war to enforce his policies. The Hawaiian Kingdom became a primarily Christian nation. Kapu is dead. Good riddance. Technically, there is no kapu that deems Maunakea as 'sacred' or 'forbidden'. In Hawai'i Nei, less than 1% of people practice the old ways. The Hawaii Statehood Act of 1959 states that the ceded Hawaiian land trust can be used for development that is beneficial to the public good. Astronomy research satisfies the criteria for special land use.
The kupuna built the largest prehistoric quarry on Mauna a Wākea. The Maunakea Adze Quarry covers 7 miles, is concentrated around 1.5 square miles and extends up to 13,000 ft of the 'sacred' mauna. The kanaka built a complex system of work shops, signage, rock shelters and crafted stone tools and weapons. They left giant rock litters and scarred huge swaths of āina. Native Hawaiians used the mauna for practical purposes, which sometimes had destructive side-effects. They used 'sacred' land for pragmatic reasons. There's no reason we can't do the same today.
The TMT extensively surveyed the build site. It isn't being constructed on any heiau, ahu, ki'i pohaku, kanu iwi, kanu piko or places of pule/mele. The State Supreme Court ruled that it doesn't infringe upon any religious liberties and it doesn't obstruct any religious, cultural, economic or traditional practices.
Even kanaka maoli used sacred land. Sacred land can be used as long as it's done with pragmatism, thoughtfulness and due diligence. The TMT plan addresses and mitigates all environmental, ecological, cultural and community concerns.

@@liliuokalani7064 Was that supposed to be a counterargument? Do you even know mo'olelo hawai'i? I guess not, buddy. Delusions. Yes, the kia'i were very delusional when they were spreading lies and propaganda that the TMT was a nuclear powered telescope and it was going to poison the aquifer system. Do you remember that craziness? Yeah, the kia'i are very delusional.
"If you take the most sacred what will we have left?"
Europa Uber Alles Europa Uber Alles really?? Lmao, our palace had electricity before the white house. We had treaties with france, britain, belgium, and were one of the internationally recognized countries that helped make Japan a recognized country as well. Our native hawaiians translated the hebrew bible into hawaiian. We had diplomats that travelled the world and made trades. Our kings and queens travelled the world. We sailed across the entire world without any modern knowledge or technology from the west, while europeans believed the world ended at the horizon, and that north america was india.
Europa Uber Alles you poor thing. All the information is there in your reach. Do the research yourself , im not your personal google. Opu'ukaha'ia translated the bible. Also we have an olympic record holder that made history in swimming. Duke Kahanamoku. And one of the most advanced people of our time in all the world, not just as natives, per Christopher Columbus once he came to our islands.
Europa Uber Alles well guess what ? Can those buildings give you fresh water to drink, or food to provide? You say “a dormant volcano” as if thats a bad thing. If you really did your research you would know many parts of our islands that were forcibly taken away were bombed by the us military and destroyed so much of what we have left. You are the one with burden of proof, and it’s ma’am. Lol.
Europa Uber Alles it’s unfortunate u believe a fish tank toy is a place in real life. Go back to elementary and learn about the real places in this world, or just stay in your fragile little bubble 🤷🏽♀️
This is such a moving piece. My heart aches for Mauna Kea and all of the energy and love surrounding and protecting the culture and land. *Aloha* - my love is with you.
I can't believe all these people came and snatched their land and that wasn't enough...... Now they are starting to destroy their land too...... Love to all the indegeneous people all around the world who are supressed and taken advantage of.
Im from Poland but im with u with my soul brothers and sisters. We cant let them do this they have taken enough! Bless.
Being native American and Irish I feel for the people in Hawai'i our heritage is almost completely gone and I wouldn't wish that on any one
Berserker5150 I agree. The reservation lands were taken from the Navajo here in Utah. Trump personally came here and signed off on it 2 years ago. Big business wants the land for development
it's been replaced by japanese... when they bombed pearl harbour then built a shrine
I agree with you I'm native American also and I feel heritage in any culture is fading away
I watched the govt at Standing Rock ❣️

mike wazowski we have jobs clown
Thank you for presenting this. I had this feeling when I once stepped foot there. I felt as though it was not America, I was in Hawai'i . Colonialism is a parasitic cancer that really bleeds resources and separates people through ignorant practices and attempts to erase histories beyond their own.
Good on you all!...my mother took me to CND marches/demonstrations against nuclear power & many other issues to which I've gone on many in my adult life too, to now be in a position to take my 9 year old daughter on her first of many!!...We must all keep our voices heard & keep in contact with each other!!! One love😢❤😊
I'm not Hawaiian but this touched me on a deep level with many tears. 😢😭
I thought it was the only one. 😢
Same. 😔
Me too. This type of injustice has been happening way too long - it is time for a change.
Me too although I relate. I was born and raised in Lake Tahoe we have a lot of the same issues Hawaii does in regards to tourism and vacation rentals and all the bad stuff that comes from over tourism and the desecration of lands that are very sacred to the tribes here today.
I cried watching this, we are all just guardians of the land and seas for future generations, we should be in harmony with our brothers and sisters not destroying what makes them unique.

As did I !!!
Pathetically though, it’s the SAME Belief Of “Manifest Destiny” that Causes these Travesties!!!

I’m so sorry this is happening to you! As an American, I am ashamed of things like this that happen in our country. Some things need to remain sacred. This breaks my heart!!
The TMT isn't being constructed on any 'sacred' land. They exhaustively surveyed the build site and confirmed that there's no heiau, ahu, ki'i pohaku, kanu iwi, kanu piko, or places of pule or mele. It's being constructed 1 mile away and 600 feet in elevation below the holy summit. In Hawai'i, less than 1% of people practice the ancestral religion. Why? Because, in 1819, King Kamehameha II, abolished the old religion, ordered all temples to be destroyed and ended the kapu religious and legal system. Technically, there is no kapu that deems Mauna Kea as 'sacred'. That was a long time ago.
This isn’t about Mauna Kea or the telescope or religion, it’s about What those things represent.
@@biteme9486 A telescope is a tool of learning. The TMT wants to observe the universe, expand human knowledge, advance technology, ponder major philosophical questions, marvel at the beauty of creation and defend the world from cosmic threats (such as asteroids). The protesters misrepresent and villify a peaceful, benign, altruistic science project for politics and propaganda.
@@sunnysied713 Except it's not benign. It's another legacy of a long process of colonialism in the Hawaiian islands. The indigenous Hawaiian people have seen so much being taken and swindled from them; their lands, their culture, their language, their country. Not to mention the threat such construction would have to the many endangered species on the mountain. That doesn't sound very good for expanding human knowledge, quite the opposite.
It's completely possible to make astronomical discoveries without building a giant telescope on sensitive lands.
@@biteme9486 - Hawai'i was never colonized. The kanaka and haole built the Hawaiian Kingdom from start to finish. Hawaiian Kings intentionally blended western systems (education, religious, economic, political and military) with native hawaiian traditions.
- The TMT conservation district use permit legally requires that FIVE observatories be removed in exchange for ONE new one. That's a great compromise!
- The Great Mahele of 1848 was the biggest land policy failure of Hawaiian Kingdom history. The king, ali'i and konohiki screwed over the maka'ainana and took all the land for themselves. Only less than 1% of the maka'ainana got land, which was about 30,000 acres. The powerful kanaka monarchy and nobility class got 4 million acres. 1 million for the King, 1.5 million for the government and 1.5 million for the nobility. Even worse, the kanaka elitists mismanaged their finances and sold off a great deal of land to foreigners to repay debts. The allodial land rights were designed to protect powerful kanaka while the actual land policies screwed over the common folk, the real hawaiians, the ones who actually managed and cultivated the land for generations. There are many protesters who complain about their "allodial" rights because they're hungry for a huge windfall based on genealogical claim... because their ancestors exploited their own people for great personal gain. The feudal lords of chiefdom days became the royal nobility of the Hawaiian Kingdom. And the exploitation didn't stop. The Great Mahele was a Great Crime of kanaka-on-kanaka fraud. The āina is life, mana, wealth, prosperity and happiness. The kanaka royalty and nobility classes stole all the land and screwed over the commoners, who had tended the ahupua'a for generations. They put native hawaiians behind the eight ball.
- It's a great myth that the native hawaiian language was banned by the Provisional Government, Republic of Hawaii or the United States. The Hawaiian Kingdom enacted a long-term education policy that gradually changed most of the medium schools to english-only immersion schools. Hawaiian Kings wanted the kanaka to speak 'olelo hawai'i and learn english to better interact and compete with the modern world. Before the Revolution of 1893, almost all the schools were english-only.
- The TMT is being constructed at 13,200 ft in a cold, windy, barren, alpine, desert, lava rock wasteland with 40% less oxygen and air pressure and increased atmospheric radations. It's not very friendly to life. The only things that live up there are algae, moss and lichen (all ubiquitous to the islands) and some insects (non-threatened, non-endangered). The rest of the wildlife gives up after 10,000 ft (for obvious reasons). It isn't a biodiversity hotspot, teeming with life. It's very high altitude lava rock.
- The TMT exhaustively surveyed the build site and confirmed that there's no impact to any heiau, ahu, ki'i pohaku, kanu iwi, kanu piko or places of pule or mele. It's one mile away and six hundred feet in elevation below the holy summit. It doesn't obstruct any religious, cultural, traditional or recreational practices. There is no impact to any anthropological or cultural heritage sites. Mauna Kea connects Mother Earth to Father Sky just like a telescope bridges the āina with the lewa lani. It's the same form, fit and function. The kupuna practiced ancient astronomy just like modern people want to practice modern astronomy.
- Mauna Kea is the best astronomy site in the northern hemisphere. The TMT is a benign science project and a tool of learning.
I am so far from you but we are with you. We love you, Best regards from Black sea .. Romania
Wow. I am in tears. This is so powerful. Thank you for raising awareness I dont see this in the news...
Because they don't want you to see it in the news exactly as she said they are the unexpected
There's a lot of things you don't see in the news. You haven't seen how my neighborhood has become swamped with Puerto Ricans who want to turn it into another drug ridden ghetto with no respect.

I stand with you Mauna Kea... all the way from Nova Scotia. A small island upon which the indigenous people struggle with similar problems. It’s a sad state. Big love to you.
The telescope's very important. But not by taking away such a beautiful and generous culture. Love and support from *INDIA* 🇮🇳 .. We are together
He sure is teaching is children such great priorities and beliefs 🙌
Thank you for using your sharing this.
I’m a atheist and an astronomer aficionadado and I support you from all my heart. Science and human rights should not be in confrontation. Science community should show the deepest sensibility because what’s is science but a tool for better understanding? Love from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
The elder women were so eloquent and insightful as they explained their stance and shamed the enforcement pawns. Hawaii is the most beautiful place I've ever been and my prayers are with these loving indigenous warriors, young and old. God bless you and all people who stand against destruction of His creation.
When I opened this video and I heard the chanting and the cries of these indigenous people, a wave of goosebumps rolled down my back and back up from my toes. As an African American/Native American woman, I STAND WITH YOU. My HEART IS WITH YOU. My BLOOD IS WITH YOU. My SOUL IS WITH YOU. Stay strong my friends. The GODS AND GODDESSES ARE LISTENING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos Mr. Momoa. Keep sharing.
I cannot help but weep watching this elder in the beginning speak, this is so powerful.
Micronesia is stand with you #Maunakea

We are one oceania
We are one family
I cant take how our government is just continuing to take land from Indigenous people.... sigh. I cant take it. 😭
People in office
@@NotSoSkinnyGirl The revolution of January 17, 1893 was caused by Queen Liliuokalani's attempt to prorogate the legislature, unilaterally create a new constitution (without the constitutional power to do so), promulgate this new constitution with a sudden declaration (surprise!) and use the military to suppress any opposition to her power grab. On January 14, she was ready to sign and proclaim the new laws. She wrote to Blount that the "members of the diplomatic corps had been invited; also the members of the supreme bench and members of the legislature, besides a committee of the Hui Kalaiaina." She also told Blount that she instructed her guards and military to be ready to suppress any challenge (riots, rebellion, etc) from her opposition: "They assured me they would be ready, and I gave strict injunctions of secrecy." The Queen had been secretly plotting a revolution to overthrow the government and reestablish an absolute monarchy.
Then everyone found about her 'secret' plan. Everything went downhill fast for her. People weren't going to curtsy, sit idly and let her smile and wave as she led a revolution. Her opposition mobilized, organized and overthrew her with their own revolution. And the rest is history.
Like I said, Queen Lili instigated her own overthrow, despite the advice of her own cabinet and supporters. She was an inexperienced, naive leader who thought she could make sweeping (illegal) changes via royal proclamation. Governor Cleghorn was a royalist and ally of Queen Liliuokalani. He was angry and disappointed by her plot to overthrow the government and failure to listen to counsel. On January 28, 1893, he wrote "I have never given the Queen anything but good advice. If she had followed my advice, she would have been firm on the throne, and Hawaiian Independence safe, but she has turned out a very stubborn woman and was not satisfied to Reign but wished to Rule." Queen Lili kicked a hornets nest and was stung by her own arrogance. She cost the country its independence.
American Minister Stevens was following the instructions of his predecessor, Minister Miller, who received instructions from the Secretary of State of the first _President Cleveland_ Administration. Cleveland was president during the Bayonet Constitution of 1887. Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard sent written instructions to then American Minister George W. Merrill that if another revolution happens in Hawaii, then they must protect American commerce, lives and property. Bayard clearly stated that, "the assistance of the officers of our Government vessels, if found necessary, will therefore be promptly afforded to promote the reign of law and respect for orderly government in Hawaii."After the revolution that lead to the Bayonet Constitution, _British_ Minister Wodehouse requested that the Americans keep a warship docked in Hawaiian port in case another revolution happened. In July 1889, there was a rebellion and Merrill ordered the deployment of marines and sailors to protect Americans. John L. Stevens (had replaced Merrill) and followed those official instructions during the overthrow of 1893.
The American soldiers were peacekeepers who didn't participate in any government building raids, patrol the streets, fire any shots or provide any material support to the insurgents. Often, the Americans would land, come ashore and practice military drills (prior to the overthrow). During the 1893 revolution, the soldiers marched past Iolani Palace, lowered their flags to show neutrality and saluted the Queen. These are hardly aggressive actions. The Americans then remained in their bunkers and did absolutely nothing because no violence broke out against American interests. There was no invasion or military occupation. The monarchy was overthrown by a homegrown coup of 1,100-1,600 insurgents (who were citizens and royal subjects), Queen Liliuokalani surrendered and abdicated her power WITHOUT fighting to defend her country from internal, domestic threats, which was her constitutional duty as a monarch.
Max Von Lowe I think your head is empty
It grieves me that any man on our earth thinks they have the right to rape and pillage a sacred place. Leave the lands to the indigenous peoples. Much love and respect from the UK. Blessings and peace🙏🌍🕊💚
The protesters can't declare a 52,500 acre, natural geologic formation as sacred and under their exclusive control. Less than 1% of Hawaii's population practices the ancestral polytheistic religion of the Akua and Aumakua. Why? King Kamehameha II ended the kapu religious legal system and abolished the ancestral polytheistic religion in *1819* - only nine years after the Kingdom's birth. The Hawaiian Kingdom became a Christian country. Hawai'i is a multinational and multiethnic community. No single religious or ethnic group owns a giant volcano. There are regions of Mauna Kea that are declared as a conservationship. The Hawaiian Admission Act and Constitution clearly state that the land trust can be used to benefit the public good. The Supreme Court of Hawaii ruled that the TMT adheres to the rules and regulations of the conservationship and special land use. They affirmed the TMT's conservation district use permit. If you want people to control land based soley on relgion or ethnicity, then that's a very racist mentality that leads nowhere good. The Hawaiian Archipelago was created by 'sacred' volcanoes. Technically, all the āina is sacred. Everyone should move back to Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, etc. But that would be silly. 😋 The kanaka have always used the sacred land for pragmatic reasons, often with destructive consequences to the environment and ecosystem. The mo'i, ali'i, konohiki and kahuna didn't perform environmental impact studies and environmental health and safety engineering. They just did whatever they wanted and slapped a kapu on it is justification. The astronomers genuinely care about achieving a real compromise. The kia'i, not so much. Culture, religion and science can coexist on the mighty mauna. 💪It's big enough for everyone.
Thanks Sunny Sied for the education, I cannot pretend to understand the ins and outs of political issues in and around Hawaii. I just think that we all as humans have done enough building and destroying this earth and should be more respectfull of each other and our planet. No offence meant. 🙏🌳🌍🕊
