The Mauna Kea Plan - kalakoa - 09-30-2019
https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2019/09/30/kim-pitches-way-forward-mauna-kea-with-series-pledges-address-protesters-concerns/
One central pledge: The governor said he would restructure Mauna Kea management to ensure representation by the Native Hawaiian community and county government.
The state also pledged to increase the number of properties available to Department of Hawaiian Home Lands beneficiaries, including by offering agricultural awards, tiny homes and other options.
And the University of Hawaii said it’s committed to building a “cultural facility†at Mauna Kea to honor Hawaiian history and knowledge, and a cultural practitioners site at the summit.
The pledges were part of a document released by Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim on Monday, and pitched as a plan to address many of the chief concerns from Thirty Meter Telescope protesters.
Hundred of activists have been camped at the base of the Mauna Kea Access Road for 78 days, blocking construction equipment for the $1.4 billion telescope from getting to the summit.
There was no immediate response to Kim’s plan from those that call themselves Mauna Kea “protectors,†but they’ve previously said they’ll only end their blockade if TMT is called off.
Meanwhile, Kim is calling his plan "beyond a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ of the TMT project. This is about asking Hawaii’s people to come together and finding a path to forward in a good way.â€
He adds, in a forward to the document, “When respectfully integrated with a comprehensive understanding of Maunakea and Hawaiian culture, astronomy can be such a catalyst for positive and transformational changes in Hawaii.â€

In Kim’s MK Plan...
“And the University of Hawaii said it’s committed to building a a cultural facility at Mauna Kea to honor Hawaiian history and knowledge, and a cultural practitioners site at the summit.”
Do you think they’re reading Punaweb?

I’m happy to see that TMT construction will finally start after all these years, but very concerned about future protests.

I’ve also been concerned about the lack of honoring Hawaiian culture and history on Mauna Kea, which should be respected, and I think that is a problem here.
I would love to see a Hawaiian Cultural Center and Museum across from the Visitor’s Center.
A small concrete seat amphitheater (to withstand winter snow) could also be built at the summit for Hawaiian cultural ceremonies...

Imagine the Merrie Monarch Festival beginning at the summit with a sunrise ceremony.
Now is time to suggest such a project and many Hawaii companies would jump on board with donations. Maybe that could help reduce the tensions and keep the peace on Mauna Kea.

How many times does Mayor Kim have to be told that "any" deal that includes building TMT will not fly with the protectors! Maybe his tactic is stalling as long as possible in the hope that TMT will decide enough is enough and pull out?

Stow this with ALL the other pledges by either or all of the participants...pledges are near worthless... my opinion
RE: The Mauna Kea Plan - kalakoa - 10-01-2019
The entire DHHL value proposition is flawed: after proving bloodline and waiting on the list for a homestead, beneficiaries get to lease their land from DHHL.
Expediting additional subdivisions and creating rental housing opportunities will not change the underlying paradigm: the people's land was taken from them, and maybe (with lots of patience, bank financing, permits, inspections) they can win the right to live on it ... for a period of time.
I'm just not seeing the value proposition here. Actually it seems more like some kind of scam.

Put in some HA style roads, divvy up the lots by place on waiting list and lottery, turn over the lands permanently, and dissolve DHHL and OHA.
