I LOVE my dearest Cousin Pua Case who is also my sisterby the cultural practice of "Hanai" which has been our practice for over 1,000 years!! Our Grandmother taught us well that we are Hawaiian!!!!!
I'm a Aotearoa (New Zealand) Maori, a while ago we had a group of Hawaiian performers visit my tribe specifically because my ancestors were also there ancestors. it was pretty mind blowing hearing the stories and exchanging our stories with them. I truly want to visit these Islands one day just to stand where my great ancestors once stood before taking the long journey south to this land i call home Aotearoa, The Land of the Long White Cloud
I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and I know that I would have to visit the Heiaus as the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and I’m Native Hawaiian as well and my name is Kahoalii (Friends of the Chief) and I’m responsible for the Aina (Land) and i am blood related to Kamehameha 1 because his first wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my seven time step grandmothers and his kids are my great uncles and Kamehameha 4th’s wife Queen Emma she is my great Aunty and I’m the great nephew to Kamehameha 1st kids and Kamehameha 4th’s wife Queen Emma I’m her great nephew and I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and his first wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my step grandmothers and his kids are my great uncles and Kamehameha 4th’s wife is my great Aunty and I’m part of the Royal Family too and I’m also an Ali’i as well
Pretty crazy but as I was watching this video this SUN a,m., a small earthquake passed underfoot...5-17-2015. The Ring of Fire is highly activated right now with 34 of the 40 volcanoes showing some activity, even long dormant ones. The mountains have spoken. Thank you Pua for this very powerful and moving video.

I am Pua Case's 1st cousin...like my `Ohana (My Family) I too stand for Mauna A Wakea...for my God...for my People...for my `Ohana. I Keonekaulana Case...former Operating Engineer...once involved in the construction of the Resorts along the Kohala Coast. I hereby refuse to operate machinery...even if I must live in poverty or starve to DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Austin Mackell is that a joke? this is no onion video. this is heart warming and true I am a hawaiian and love the mountains and the outdoors. if our people came to your Aina (land) and took over what would you do?
Let's not forget that the ancestors WERE master astronomers and we know this because the pu'u on Mauna Kea's slopes carry the names of stars. How else to create master navigators? The old ones knew where humans (kanaka) reside in this universe and took this position quite seriously.
My heart and thoughts go out to you. I wish it was in my ability to go home and protest with all the people of the land. Blessings and thank you for this beautiful video.
***** It is in your ability to share this vid with everyone you know. Protest is a strange word. When we stand for something with all our heart and soul, we aren't against ANYTHING. We simply stand for what is right and good and pono. Your heart is powerful, use it wisely.
Mauna Kea, the whole mountain itself is an ancient Heiau. Therefore, nothing of western influence, should desecrate this holy place. My heart aches, and tears cannot stop falling from my eyes. What can I do to kokua?
MALAMA MAUNA KEA ~ Our Love Goes Deep for generation of our past & generations to come ~ MAUNA KEA Protects us all ~ WE MUST PROTECT HER ~ IT IS OUR KULEANA (responsibility) EO!!!!
+Cookie Gaspar `Ae Cuz...Mauna A Wakea is sacred unto Wakea the progenitor of ALL Hawaiian's. I knew this ALL too well growing up on Parker Ranch & hunting & working on the slopes of our beloved Mauna. Those who opposed to us have NO CLUE!!!! Those who support science to the point of desecration have NO CLUE!!!! Only other natives like us can appreciate our stand to protect our Mauna & bring Ho`oponopono between us & our Kupuna!!!!
I have lived my life under the gentle mountain. It is a reassuring presence. Whenever I see it, I am reminded of the phrase, "Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono" and it gives me pause to reflect upon its meaning. Is it we that protect the land or is it the land that protects us? And who is "we" and what is the etheric nature behind the "land"? I am for the TMT. I have lived my life looking at things as objectively as possible. When presented with a decision of right or wrong, I have always chosen what is right. It has recently come to my attention that perhaps I should look through different eyes and make decisions based on what is kind or unkind. Some of the decisions that I have regretted might have turned out differently, had I asked that question. In deciding the fate of the TMT, I have no doubt about what is right or wrong for it to proceed with construction. That being said, I respect the (opposing) groups' rights for peaceful civil disobedience. Indeed, I admire their veracity and principles. So, is there a kind solution to this problem? I hope so. And if, in the end, the decision is made to terminate the project... I'm not sure that I will take that as a defeat. If that is the only kind solution, then maybe it is the only solution.
It won't be defeat. There is another location to build the telescope. It's more then just the telescope but years or being put down and seeing our culture sold off.
I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and I know that I would have to visit the Heiaus as the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and I’m Native Hawaiian as well and my name is Kahoalii (Friends of the Chief) and I’m responsible for the Aina (Land) and i am blood related to Kamehameha 1 because his first wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my seven time step grandmothers and his kids are my great uncles and Kamehameha 4th’s wife Queen Emma she is my great Aunty and I’m the great nephew to Kamehameha 1st kids and Kamehameha 4th’s wife Queen Emma I’m her great nephew and I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and his first wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my step grandmothers and his kids are my great uncles and Kamehameha 4th’s wife is my great Aunty and I’m part of the Royal Family too and I’m also an Ali’i as well
Is this person or group aware of this?: www.malamamaunakea.org/ There is a tremendous amount of oversight to protect the cultural aspects of the mountain, not just a bunch of nerd atheist scientists running amuck.
Do these beliefs of sacred lands and religious practices fall under the Kapu System that was abolished by King Kamehameha II? Just trying to understand the religious aspect of this.
@@log5056 Hawaiian history, like 'history' all over the world, is riddled with lies and half-truths. ("History is a lie commonly agreed upon." Voltaire) Was Kamaemeha the 'Great', considered great for committing a genocide to unite the islands? His statue isn't even of him... Focusing on the lies of the past will only inhibit your future. This is the best place on the planet for this telescope so let it be. Use your energy to save the ocean and the planet.
I didn't really get the point of this video. Obiously, it is against astronomy. Okay. But why? Is there a reglious rule, that nothing should be build on Mauna Kea? Or that astronomy research upsets the ancestors? When you don't really argue, you will miss your goal.
eltfell Haha, perhaps read some literature on the cultural importance this location holds for Hawai'i before writing a comment as such. Does an argument need to justify Anglo-Saxon norms? I hear her argument, more I hear our responsibility! EO!
Ryan Swanson It's not my duty to find out, what she really wants. It's her duty to communicate it. She doesn't say, if she is against astronomic research itself at this place, if she is only against the buildings on this mountain, of if she is against the presence of humans on the summit (like Kailash). And she doesn't really tell, what religious rules would be violated. All I hear is pseudo-profound stuff and singing (accompanied by a guitar, which is brought to Hawaii by Whites btw). Australian Natives make their point clear, that Uluru should not be climbed and why. I accept that very well. But this stuff isn't convincing at all.
I don't think it's something that can be taught or explained. Unless you are from the islands and connected as one with the Aina you'll never know how in depth and rooted we are with our culture. It's just something us Hawaiians feel and know is right. I'm not trying to stir up anything but I was just putting my view on it. Aloha to you and your ohana!
aloha ka kou... i agree with Mr Q... even down to the blessings at the end... with that said ill add on being a kanaka maoli and maka'ainana at that.. finding out the truth of the truth of it such as this; th-cam.com/video/1gs-pKQHP7I/w-d-xo.html you realize there IS a blue and red pill... when your awake to it, what will you do?
Wakea, sky god. Kaonohiokala, which means eye of the sun. Also a god we worship. Poliahu who is god of love peace and the snow. We have God’s of the earth which is why we worship mauna awakea
This is the old religion that Kamehameha II stopped or ended. There was a civil war in which the chief and his wife were killed and all his warriors who supported it. So it was band or Kapu. We Polynesia turn our ancestors to gods over time. Like Maui or Wakea. Maui was a navigator who discovered the islands and named Oahu after his daughter. Wakea is a descendant of Hagoth the great ship builder. I’ve read their genealogy it’s awesome🤙🏽
Paueli Faumuina right on my braddah. Kaonohiokala was the religion of the early hawaiians, 12 century Hawaiians before the Tahitians came and we became what is now the Hawaiian race. Liholiho decided to end that one religion after a dinner with his mother Keōpūolani and Ka’ahumanu. He was asked by his father to reinstate the Kahu’s and temples but Liholiho refused and with his chief Kalanimōkū he defeated his fathers army at the battle of kuamo’o. I think. I think he had influence by missionaries to convert Hawaiians to one god and not allow them to believe in Kūkailimoku, Kane, Lono and Kanaloa. Liholiho’s story is pretty crazy tho but I’m glad to know other people are still interested in the history of Hawaii. Aloha
Joshua Supnet-Kim no its not the most disrespectful thing somebody can do............how about a dictator telling you how to live , who lives, who dies, and comes to your house ith a weapon...o wait Nazi times.. this is just a mountain that is still "sacred" with or without telescopes on it, and who is to say it would or wouldnt be, the "natives" will go on and live and still "pray" on top of the mountain long after the fact cause its their tradition, so what is the fuss all about....are we making a mountain out of a mo hill?
If you knew anything about our language or dialect, both pronunciations of the consonants, "v" and "w" are acceptable and it does not alter the definition of the word.
I watched your video and have decided to go troll your facebook page. If your ancestors knew so much then we wouldn't have to build telescopes. I'll bet you rode in a car to the top to dance your hula, no? Fine, but don't complain like you don't benefit from modernity. I have been to this great place and was proud of the science that lives there. Culture and science DO live together (you made this video, right?). The 30m telescope is wonderful and should proceed without delay. Get over it. Cheers/John
John what if someone comes to your territory and try take away your culture and you're forced to live in their culture? Imagine that and we are not just talking about religion, politics, or gender. We have so much relationships to the land we connected to our roots of our ancestors. Imagen if someone build something superfluous on top your home/land without permission.
RE: your hypothetical- If those people demonstrated that the premise of my religion and worldview were wrong, then I would get over it and try to learn something. That the telescopes are "superfluous" is too wrong to merit a response. Fortunately for science, the protest is a minority opinion and I look forward to seeing the TMT on my next visit!
You didn't listen. This isn't anti-modernity. This is pro-protection of a fragile ecosystem and place of great meaning for many people for whom this is their only home. This is anti-corruption, as there are many people skirting the rules in this deal who stand to make money. Technology can always progress, and new technologies eventually become obsolete. It is much harder to bring back a destroyed ecosystem and lost species. The "unintended consequences" from this kind of project are of the kind the people there may have to live with forever. What kind of progressive-minded science tramples underfoot the equally-scientific aims of conservation? What kind of ethic is this, where certain people have clearance to do hurtful things to others simply because they have been "enlightened" from caring? Moreover, there is a convincing argument to be made that Hawai`i is an occupied country, and from that perspective the crime of building this telescope becomes magnified tenfold. The entirety of Hawai`i itself is an ill-gotten place. No one ever asked permission for the rights to these lands. If you look at the chain of title to this mountain you'll more fully understand the protest.
Your point about species going extinct is a valid concern. Addressing it in planning phase isn't enough- it has to be monitored carefully through construction and into operations. It would be reckless to trample something that's irreplaceable, but we differ that the TMT does so. RE: Hawaii being occupied- so is mainland US, so is Canada, so is Scotland, so is Israel, so is China, so is Russia, and probably some part of every country on earth. That's old business and it's time to just grow up. I understand the history. Every single square inch of the US was annexed from natives by means unfair by today's diplomatic or even humanitarian standards. It was wrong, however nobody wants to go back.
Youd have to be a Hawaiian to understand the feeling. We are rooted to this land and our ancestors. It is not something that can be explained and understood, it something that can only be felt. He mana ko laila... Aloha to you Mr. Daly

The invasion started when the Tahitians (Alii) arrived (800ad) and took the islands from the earlier inhabitants, the Marquasians. By bringing the war god KU and chopping off heads, the Tahitians took control and divided the islands among their own kings and Alii royalty. They were every bit as bad as the European conquest of North America.
this is quite possibly the most inspiring and most spiritual experience for the entire world not what anyone could possibly understand with the social way of life and how most people have to work hard and have still struggled to make ends meet and how we as a people have more than most could possibly understand are victims of such unimaginable of a scale as other tribal indigenous cultures have been overthrown from sacred ways from sacred practices from language song and dance every culture on the planet the origins of all humanity why have we collectively allowed this to happen and continue to happen and most are oblivious to this or know of it and continue to live the structured life and struggle for the betterment of themselves and their loved ones , I was a victim to learn as a young child growing up in kaiwiki Hi on the slopes of the Mauna O Wakea on my grandfathers cattle ranch in which was quite a large piece of land with several rolling hills two fresh water rivers that flowed through the valleys he had the nothing compared to parker ranch but it was the next from that on the other side of the mountain from where you were raised and your family has lived my family is Pacheco family of wainaku my mother god rest her soul Lorraine Bernadette(Dolly) Pacheco-garland of marriage was the eldest child only daughter of Michael Bernard Pacheco (uncle mikey) and (Aunty Luli) Lucille Napohaku Tucker-Pacheco of marriage I was taught to love my Aina and respect it and to be grateful of all things that are provided for us and never forget of those gifts and live with Aloha each and every day I learned some things at Ha'aheo school from a great kumu Kahananui she was a wonderful kumuhula as well taught us songs and how to play the ukulele and some basic knowledge of hawaiiana , my parents moved to the Mainland I as well and took Aloha with me and all the places we moved and places we visited allowed me to see and experience other cultures and belief systems and other ways of spiritual practices in which I soaked up like a sponge I was so interested in all things of that nature because of my blend of what makes me mom half Hawaiian half Portuguese my father is Cherokee ,Irish, Scottish ,german so you see im a mutt lol blended I guess you could say so I wanted to know about all the native indigenous cultures from all the places that my blood cpmes from I have always felt connected to the earth and of the element I was born 01-22-1977 Aquarius dual elemental air sign,with water I am a empath and beginner in the basics of Reiki would loved to expand qigong I have studied tai-chi basics and tae-kwon-do to the second degree black I have had a great life learning and then raising a family seven great kids me and wife have grown apart in life unfortunate for us and children I have sinced moved home and have been here for 5 amazing months reconnecting to my homeland and trying to remember all I was taught as a child and feeling the incredible Mana unlike anywhere else ive been it is a time for healing for me and I am making incredible progress helping with the community and reaching out and visiting all places that I can and remember I have gone to the Mauna on a few occasions permitting from work I work full time if I could I would spend every waking moment and sleeping in dream and vision there I want to be there and stand with you and be a person to support I wish I could learn as your student all the things that I missed out on moving away I hold Hawaii and all that our culture is very dear my grandmother would rub my back and put me to sleep every night singing songs in Hawaiian that knew as a child and she would always tell me that I would return here some day and help reunite our people and learn the ways of our culture so I can teach others and help turn people to understand on a spiritual level and way of our people I believe you and your Ohana and what you are taking a stand for is the most incredible ,heart warming , eye opening , spiritual experience ever it has inspired me to pick up the ukulele for the first time in 30 years im trying to get that going lol I want to learn the prayers ,songs ,I was only taught a little as far as language I want to learn how to speak and sing and chant in Hawaiian I think I would be a wonderful student if you would allow the honor and privilege to learn. sorry so long mahalo lokahi koa kaimi naauao malama kupuna k aloha.
I can see no logical reasons expressed in this video. The telescope will teach us a great deal. The idea of the "sacred" is common but not rational. This video is gibberish.
Donnie M its new technology that the other ones dont have , eventually they will stop using some of the older telescopes and take those down., be thankful they are not putting another honolulu on top of the mountain.
hmmmmmmm oh flat earthers argue the shit out of this person. the earth is flat. moon landing is fake. Antarctica is not a continent it's a huge disc wall. the stars are not real but our dome.
if this telescope was built in the 60s, it would fall down. too bad no more the old Hawaiians i remember before. and they said, when Hawaiian open their mouths, look out.
THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME/US, excuse me while I go wash the sleep n illusion from my eyes, then go flush the lies n bullshit, shower in some truth AND understanding, have a big bowl of Spiritual Healing AND Positive Healing, then I'll meet you at THAT crossroad, THANKS AGAIN CUS
the whole world is sacred, prepare yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose, be thankful its not a skyscraper or resort, you "natives" dont speak for the mountain and neither do I. If the mountain doesnt want it there it will tear it down itself, and if that happens it happens , get with the times, i appreciate though your cultural traditions but dont think it dictates over the future of the land and others. Last time i checked this land is part of the United States, and if you want your beliefs to be law then try and succeed from the U.S and form your own stable govt and good luck, if not then accept change, other peoples beliefs or non-beliefs just like all of us do.
Get off of our mountain this our land this land is not theirs! We do not want you here! Stop stealing our land.We will all stand as one love one heart! The fire of this mountain is holy!
Lets rally up there after this is all done cause I wanna change the law for Concel carry in Hawaii. I was told by a protester this is how you change laws if you dont agree with the American way.
Hawaiian Kingdom Law (1839 Kauikeaouli Kamehameha III) is the ultimate highest level organized VERBAL Kapu Aloha (Maoli) and is the COMPLEMENT (the other Half) which advances the Hawaiian Kingdom sovereignty (Kapu Aloha) PHYSICAL ACTIONS to a deeper next stage. One cannot do without the other ... and... as it is decisive in times of "peace", so it is in times of war...(as was originally organized). LIKE (waving) THE FLAG, it clearly concludes that Hawaiian Kingdom is WHERE WE LIVE, but additionally identifies that we are not Hawaiians “living in America”. It also holds accountable any person who does harm, engages in lies, and dishonors their word. This Law (like the Hawaiian flag) is based in Biblical principles and is the official attribute establishing the Hawaiian kuleana (where all belief systems have sanctuary...especially and now appropriately the ancient Samoan / Tahitian polytheistic ones defining a-KU-a as the god of war leading them). It is a Law system in harmony with both nature and the ONE Creator (Ke Akua)/ monotheism...which apparently some protectors believe is not Verbally defending their personal sovereignty when physically attacked...and they end up verbally defending themselves with the “monothei$m” of Hawaiians “living in America". Hawaiian Kingdom natural-common Law is entirely appropriate however ..as it stands strong against the historic "Moneylenders", only needing the Ku (as in Ke AKUA) uncompromising attitude of standing in honor. While different protectors also believe both this law as well as the Hawaiian Flag to be too "Western" (which includes the “‘British’[read Egyptian] Hive" system)...in the end that IS how Hawaiian Kingdom was monumentally formulated (combination Polynesian Ali’i war culture / Mu Maoli Sacred Family peace culture): But unfortunately the price paid for being this "sovereign” combination was the secret assassinations of the Sacred Vine royalty (whereby even Kamehameha 3 had to fake his own death and live in exile) and the continued denigration /genocide of the Hawaiian Nationals/Kanaka Maoli to this day. In actuality, however ...this law and flag (specifically) enlightens and orientates the world on the origin of the Polynesians in history (vs. Mu/ Maoli history) dating back to the time of the "Lost Tribes of Jacob"...(i.e. "Union Jack" Jacob/ aka pharaoh Jakobur with his Red-White-Blue "dark" magic energy) ...expelled from Egypt for their Usury practices.
Hey, "Fundamental RIght" come first over law right was said by court. Is not its a sacred grounds that been established before. Remove at least one building to remember this.
There is no such mountain in Hawai'i, It's like the Catholic church saying that their statue of fatima and the statue of mary that cries are sacred? The truth is they are both shams... Gothic beliefs...Just like the pope a sham... LOL... You should be giving Glory To the Lord Thy God because I are. All Glory To the Lord Thy God, God of The Living, God of Israel, Lord Of Hosts, Merciful, Loving and All Powerful God. Samoa E Muamua Le Atua..

LOL... Shut up blood eating maggot... Catholics another idol worshiper of course support idols for idols...
Beautiful
I stand with the native Hawaiian people as they protect their lands!

never choose profit or paycheck instead of good and thriving Aina...never...Weagree.Life
I have lived my life under the gentle mountain. It is a reassuring presence. Whenever I see it, I am reminded of the phrase, "Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono" and it gives me pause to reflect upon its meaning. Is it we that protect the land or is it the land that protects us? And who is "we" and what is the etheric nature behind the "land"?
I am for the TMT. I have lived my life looking at things as objectively as possible. When presented with a decision of right or wrong, I have always chosen what is right. It has recently come to my attention that perhaps I should look through different eyes and make decisions based on what is kind or unkind. Some of the decisions that I have regretted might have turned out differently, had I asked that question.
In deciding the fate of the TMT, I have no doubt about what is right or wrong for it to proceed with construction. That being said, I respect the (opposing) groups' rights for peaceful civil disobedience. Indeed, I admire their veracity and principles. So, is there a kind solution to this problem? I hope so.
And if, in the end, the decision is made to terminate the project... I'm not sure that I will take that as a defeat.
If that is the only kind solution, then maybe it is the only solution.
It won't be defeat. There is another location to build the telescope. It's more then just the telescope but years or being put down and seeing our culture sold off.

There is a tremendous amount of oversight to protect the cultural aspects of the mountain, not just a bunch of nerd atheist scientists running amuck.
Do these beliefs of sacred lands and religious practices fall under the Kapu System that was abolished by King Kamehameha II? Just trying to understand the religious aspect of this.
Stand strong Hawaiians!
If this place is so sacred How did the other telescopes get built? why is there a road to drive up there? Nothing should be there at all!!!
IF YOUR MOUNTAIN SAYS NO THEN SO DOES NGA MAUNGA TAPU O NU TIRENI and your MAORI descendent's say NO also......

I didn't really get the point of this video. Obiously, it is against astronomy. Okay. But why? Is there a reglious rule, that nothing should be build on Mauna Kea? Or that astronomy research upsets the ancestors? When you don't really argue, you will miss your goal.
eltfell Haha, perhaps read some literature on the cultural importance this location holds for Hawai'i before writing a comment as such. Does an argument need to justify Anglo-Saxon norms? I hear her argument, more I hear our responsibility! EO!
Ryan Swanson It's not my duty to find out, what she really wants. It's her duty to communicate it. She doesn't say, if she is against astronomic research itself at this place, if she is only against the buildings on this mountain, of if she is against the presence of humans on the summit (like Kailash). And she doesn't really tell, what religious rules would be violated. All I hear is pseudo-profound stuff and singing (accompanied by a guitar, which is brought to Hawaii by Whites btw).
Australian Natives make their point clear, that Uluru should not be climbed and why. I accept that very well. But this stuff isn't convincing at all.
Ryan Swanson WTH does this have to do with Anglo-Saxon norms? Did some German guy from England design this? Get your racism right.
I don't think it's something that can be taught or explained. Unless you are from the islands and connected as one with the Aina you'll never know how in depth and rooted we are with our culture. It's just something us Hawaiians feel and know is right. I'm not trying to stir up anything but I was just putting my view on it. Aloha to you and your ohana!
aloha ka kou... i agree with Mr Q... even down to the blessings at the end... with that said ill add on being a kanaka maoli and maka'ainana at that.. finding out the truth of the truth of it such as this; th-cam.com/video/1gs-pKQHP7I/w-d-xo.html you realize there IS a blue and red pill... when your awake to it, what will you do?
Sacred to which God?
Wakea, sky god. Kaonohiokala, which means eye of the sun. Also a god we worship. Poliahu who is god of love peace and the snow. We have God’s of the earth which is why we worship mauna awakea
This is the old religion that Kamehameha II stopped or ended. There was a civil war in which the chief and his wife were killed and all his warriors who supported it. So it was band or Kapu.
We Polynesia turn our ancestors to gods over time. Like Maui or Wakea. Maui was a navigator who discovered the islands and named Oahu after his daughter. Wakea is a descendant of Hagoth the great ship builder.
I’ve read their genealogy it’s awesome🤙🏽
Paueli Faumuina right on my braddah. Kaonohiokala was the religion of the early hawaiians, 12 century Hawaiians before the Tahitians came and we became what is now the Hawaiian race. Liholiho decided to end that one religion after a dinner with his mother Keōpūolani and Ka’ahumanu. He was asked by his father to reinstate the Kahu’s and temples but Liholiho refused and with his chief Kalanimōkū he defeated his fathers army at the battle of kuamo’o. I think. I think he had influence by missionaries to convert Hawaiians to one god and not allow them to believe in Kūkailimoku, Kane, Lono and Kanaloa. Liholiho’s story is pretty crazy tho but I’m glad to know other people are still interested in the history of Hawaii. Aloha
I’m not sure on if missionaries were already here in Hawaii or came later
Kahiwahiwaokalani Kiaaina i think after but I love history of Polynesia because they all become one big OHANA 🤙🏽
I'm from the mainland (California) and I think this is this is the most disrespectful thing anybody can do
Joshua Supnet-Kim no its not the most disrespectful thing somebody can do............how about a dictator telling you how to live , who lives, who dies, and comes to your house ith a weapon...o wait Nazi times.. this is just a mountain that is still "sacred" with or without telescopes on it, and who is to say it would or wouldnt be, the "natives" will go on and live and still "pray" on top of the mountain long after the fact cause its their tradition, so what is the fuss all about....are we making a mountain out of a mo hill?
sometimes i just get the feeling that some natives care more about land than another human being
so how did the mountain say no??
Is it not true that W is sounded as v so it would be mana a va kea not mana a wa kea
If you knew anything about our language or dialect, both pronunciations of the consonants, "v" and "w" are acceptable and it does not alter the definition of the word.
The name is Mauna Awakea , mauna is the Hawaiian word for mountain and mana means spiritual or divine power.
I watched your video and have decided to go troll your facebook page. If your ancestors knew so much then we wouldn't have to build telescopes. I'll bet you rode in a car to the top to dance your hula, no? Fine, but don't complain like you don't benefit from modernity. I have been to this great place and was proud of the science that lives there. Culture and science DO live together (you made this video, right?). The 30m telescope is wonderful and should proceed without delay. Get over it. Cheers/John
John what if someone comes to your territory and try take away your culture and you're forced to live in their culture? Imagine that and we are not just talking about religion, politics, or gender. We have so much relationships to the land we connected to our roots of our ancestors. Imagen if someone build something superfluous on top your home/land without permission.
RE: your hypothetical- If those people demonstrated that the premise of my religion and worldview were wrong, then I would get over it and try to learn something. That the telescopes are "superfluous" is too wrong to merit a response. Fortunately for science, the protest is a minority opinion and I look forward to seeing the TMT on my next visit!
You didn't listen. This isn't anti-modernity. This is pro-protection of a fragile ecosystem and place of great meaning for many people for whom this is their only home. This is anti-corruption, as there are many people skirting the rules in this deal who stand to make money. Technology can always progress, and new technologies eventually become obsolete. It is much harder to bring back a destroyed ecosystem and lost species. The "unintended consequences" from this kind of project are of the kind the people there may have to live with forever.
What kind of progressive-minded science tramples underfoot the equally-scientific aims of conservation? What kind of ethic is this, where certain people have clearance to do hurtful things to others simply because they have been "enlightened" from caring?
Moreover, there is a convincing argument to be made that Hawai`i is an occupied country, and from that perspective the crime of building this telescope becomes magnified tenfold. The entirety of Hawai`i itself is an ill-gotten place. No one ever asked permission for the rights to these lands. If you look at the chain of title to this mountain you'll more fully understand the protest.
Your point about species going extinct is a valid concern. Addressing it in planning phase isn't enough- it has to be monitored carefully through construction and into operations. It would be reckless to trample something that's irreplaceable, but we differ that the TMT does so.
RE: Hawaii being occupied- so is mainland US, so is Canada, so is Scotland, so is Israel, so is China, so is Russia, and probably some part of every country on earth. That's old business and it's time to just grow up. I understand the history. Every single square inch of the US was annexed from natives by means unfair by today's diplomatic or even humanitarian standards. It was wrong, however nobody wants to go back.
Youd have to be a Hawaiian to understand the feeling. We are rooted to this land and our ancestors. It is not something that can be explained and understood, it something that can only be felt. He mana ko laila... Aloha to you Mr. Daly

The Litany of Fear
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
@@druid3744 Nice rhyme bud, but the only thing is do you know where you go after life? we are dust and dust we shall return. Fear a man? In Isaiah 51: 12-13 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass.
As I was saying take your Navy Seal man and shove it back into the hole that he needs to go in. A grave where all of them belongs.. The soul is no ones to own but the Creator Of Man and Woman. So take your poem writing self satan and go back into the whole that you were buried in...

We must work to save the aina. There has just been ENOUGH invading of the islands. When will the GREED stop?
The invasion started when the Tahitians (Alii) arrived (800ad) and took the islands from the earlier inhabitants, the Marquasians. By bringing the war god KU and chopping off heads, the Tahitians took control and divided the islands among their own kings and Alii royalty. They were every bit as bad as the European conquest of North America.
this is quite possibly the most inspiring and most spiritual experience for the entire world not what anyone could possibly understand with the social way of life and how most people have to work hard and have still struggled to make ends meet and how we as a people have more than most could possibly understand are victims of such unimaginable of a scale as other tribal indigenous cultures have been overthrown from sacred ways from sacred practices from language song and dance every culture on the planet the origins of all humanity why have we collectively allowed this to happen and continue to happen and most are oblivious to this or know of it and continue to live the structured life and struggle for the betterment of themselves and their loved ones , I was a victim to learn as a young child growing up in kaiwiki Hi on the slopes of the Mauna O Wakea on my grandfathers cattle ranch in which was quite a large piece of land with several rolling hills two fresh water rivers that flowed through the valleys he had the nothing compared to parker ranch but it was the next from that on the other side of the mountain from where you were raised and your family has lived my family is Pacheco family of wainaku my mother god rest her soul Lorraine Bernadette(Dolly) Pacheco-garland of marriage was the eldest child only daughter of Michael Bernard Pacheco (uncle mikey) and (Aunty Luli) Lucille Napohaku Tucker-Pacheco of marriage I was taught to love my Aina and respect it and to be grateful of all things that are provided for us and never forget of those gifts and live with Aloha each and every day I learned some things at Ha'aheo school from a great kumu Kahananui she was a wonderful kumuhula as well taught us songs and how to play the ukulele and some basic knowledge of hawaiiana , my parents moved to the Mainland I as well and took Aloha with me and all the places we moved and places we visited allowed me to see and experience other cultures and belief systems and other ways of spiritual practices in which I soaked up like a sponge I was so interested in all things of that nature because of my blend of what makes me mom half Hawaiian half Portuguese my father is Cherokee ,Irish, Scottish ,german so you see im a mutt lol blended I guess you could say so I wanted to know about all the native indigenous cultures from all the places that my blood cpmes from I have always felt connected to the earth and of the element I was born 01-22-1977 Aquarius dual elemental air sign,with water I am a empath and beginner in the basics of Reiki would loved to expand qigong I have studied tai-chi basics and tae-kwon-do to the second degree black I have had a great life learning and then raising a family seven great kids me and wife have grown apart in life unfortunate for us and children I have sinced moved home and have been here for 5 amazing months reconnecting to my homeland and trying to remember all I was taught as a child and feeling the incredible Mana unlike anywhere else ive been it is a time for healing for me and I am making incredible progress helping with the community and reaching out and visiting all places that I can and remember I have gone to the Mauna on a few occasions permitting from work I work full time if I could I would spend every waking moment and sleeping in dream and vision there I want to be there and stand with you and be a person to support I wish I could learn as your student all the things that I missed out on moving away I hold Hawaii and all that our culture is very dear my grandmother would rub my back and put me to sleep every night singing songs in Hawaiian that knew as a child and she would always tell me that I would return here some day and help reunite our people and learn the ways of our culture so I can teach others and help turn people to understand on a spiritual level and way of our people I believe you and your Ohana and what you are taking a stand for is the most incredible ,heart warming , eye opening , spiritual experience ever it has inspired me to pick up the ukulele for the first time in 30 years im trying to get that going lol I want to learn the prayers ,songs ,I was only taught a little as far as language I want to learn how to speak and sing and chant in Hawaiian I think I would be a wonderful student if you would allow the honor and privilege to learn. sorry so long

I can see no logical reasons expressed in this video. The telescope will teach us a great deal. The idea of the "sacred" is common but not rational. This video is gibberish.
There is already 13 observation facilities on Mauna Kea. We are tired of our sacred land being desecrated all over the Hawaiian islands.
Donnie M its new technology that the other ones dont have , eventually they will stop using some of the older telescopes and take those down., be thankful they are not putting another honolulu on top of the mountain.
hmmmmmmm oh flat earthers argue the shit out of this person. the earth is flat. moon landing is fake. Antarctica is not a continent it's a huge disc wall. the stars are not real but our dome.
my porcelain throne is also Sacred....... but will gladly give it up for the benefit of mankind..........
act of 1871 and hawaiis annex
if this telescope was built in the 60s, it would fall down. too bad no more the old Hawaiians i remember before. and they said, when Hawaiian open their mouths, look out.
THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME/US, excuse me while I go wash the sleep n illusion from my eyes, then go flush the lies n bullshit, shower in some truth AND understanding, have a big bowl of Spiritual Healing AND Positive Healing, then I'll meet you at THAT crossroad, THANKS AGAIN CUS
the whole world is sacred, prepare yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose, be thankful its not a skyscraper or resort, you "natives" dont speak for the mountain and neither do I. If the mountain doesnt want it there it will tear it down itself, and if that happens it happens , get with the times, i appreciate though your cultural traditions but dont think it dictates over the future of the land and others. Last time i checked this land is part of the United States, and if you want your beliefs to be law then try and succeed from the U.S and form your own stable govt and good luck, if not then accept change, other peoples beliefs or non-beliefs just like all of us do.
Hawaiians you lost your lands to the conquerors. Its how life works.
Haha you mean American Corporations of Poisoners! Get Lost dude!
But you forget that time will bring justice and conquerors will lose what they have stolen. That's how the universe works!
Get off of our mountain this our land this land is not theirs! We do not want you here! Stop stealing our land.We will all stand as one love one heart! The fire of this mountain is holy!
This is an Onion video right?
Lets rally up there after this is all done cause I wanna change the law for Concel carry in Hawaii. I was told by a protester this is how you change laws if you dont agree with the American way.
Hawaiian Kingdom Law (1839 Kauikeaouli Kamehameha III) is the ultimate highest level organized VERBAL Kapu Aloha (Maoli) and is the COMPLEMENT (the other Half) which advances the Hawaiian Kingdom sovereignty (Kapu Aloha) PHYSICAL ACTIONS to a deeper next stage. One cannot do without the other ... and... as it is decisive in times of "peace", so it is in times of war...(as was originally organized).
LIKE (waving) THE FLAG, it clearly concludes that Hawaiian Kingdom is WHERE WE LIVE, but additionally identifies that we are not Hawaiians “living in America”. It also holds accountable any person who does harm, engages in lies, and dishonors their word.
This Law (like the Hawaiian flag) is based in Biblical principles and is the official attribute establishing the Hawaiian kuleana (where all belief systems have sanctuary...especially and now appropriately the ancient Samoan / Tahitian polytheistic ones defining a-KU-a as the god of war leading them). It is a Law system in harmony with both nature and the ONE Creator (Ke Akua)/ monotheism...which apparently some protectors believe is not Verbally defending their personal sovereignty when physically attacked...and they end up verbally defending themselves with the “monothei$m” of Hawaiians “living in America". Hawaiian Kingdom natural-common Law is entirely appropriate however ..as it stands strong against the historic "Moneylenders", only needing the Ku (as in Ke AKUA) uncompromising attitude of standing in honor.
While different protectors also believe both this law as well as the Hawaiian Flag to be too "Western" (which includes the “‘British’[read Egyptian] Hive" system)...in the end that IS how Hawaiian Kingdom was monumentally formulated (combination Polynesian Ali’i war culture / Mu Maoli Sacred Family peace culture): But unfortunately the price paid for being this "sovereign” combination was the secret assassinations of the Sacred Vine royalty (whereby even Kamehameha 3 had to fake his own death and live in exile) and the continued denigration /genocide of the Hawaiian Nationals/Kanaka Maoli to this day. In actuality, however ...this law and flag (specifically) enlightens and orientates the world on the origin of the Polynesians in history (vs. Mu/ Maoli history) dating back to the time of the "Lost Tribes of Jacob"...(i.e. "Union Jack" Jacob/ aka pharaoh Jakobur with his Red-White-Blue "dark" magic energy) ...expelled from Egypt for their Usury practices.
Hey, "Fundamental RIght" come first over law right was said by court. Is not its a sacred grounds that been established before. Remove at least one building to remember this.
There is no such mountain in Hawai'i, It's like the Catholic church saying that their statue of fatima and the statue of mary that cries are sacred? The truth is they are both shams... Gothic beliefs...Just like the pope a sham... LOL...
