Inouye Solar Telescope Article - Old Croc - 01-29-2020
From Gizmodo Australia:
"Like other telescopes on the Hawaiian islands, the Inouye Solar Telescope was met with resistance from local Hawaiians, as the site on which it sits is considered sacred ground. Science reports that the circumstances surrounding the Inouye Solar Telescope differ slightly from the controversial Thirty Metre Telescope. For example, it’s much smaller, much of the Inouye Solar Telescope’s construction progress was done in private, and the military-guarded national park atop Haleakala made it more difficult for protestors to access."

Question: Are all mountain peaks in Hawaii sacred?

The big guy wedgies himself under the axel of the solar telescope transport trailer:

Block public highway, check
Arrest protestors, check
Finish project, check
Here’s how Maui County handled it:

I think the answer is that it depends on who you ask.

Was checking out a "Best photographs of 2022" article and stumbled across this. Pretty interesting:

If everything is sacred, nothing is.

DKIST is an engineering marvel and Hawaii should be proud to host it. Just the amount of heat it has to disperse in order to make solar observations is incredible.

As pointed out by kalakoa, not all Native Hawaiians have the same preferences or belief systems, just like any other group of people. This observatory on Maui is a good example of how people in Hawaii with our multi cultural heritage can work together, government agencies can address concerns and provide educational opportunities and jobs. It’s a win-win. From the link posted by Chas:
Hōkūlani Holt, Director of the Ka Hikina O Ka Lā program at the University of Hawai‘i Maui College, led an opening pule (prayer) in accordance with Hawaiian cultural protocol.
School and community outreach events, participation in the Akamai Workforce Initiative, and the NSF-funded Ka Hikina O Ka Lā program supports Hawai‘i and Native Hawaiian students on their journey to obtaining careers in STEM.
