Kealoha Pisciotta, leader of one faction among the groups with anti-TMT sentiments and builder of a personal ahu on Mauna Kea which was subsequently removed as it’s construction was not authorized, had charges in an unrelated whale burial incident dropped recently. She had transferred a dying whale from a west Hawaii shoreline to a burial at sea, against NOAA regulations. Pisciotta claimed she followed ancient Hawaiian whale burial practices, which in this case included taking the whale out to sea, then weighing it down with rocks to sink into the ocean. It was not confirmed the whale had died before the burial took place.
NOAA was unable to verify whether the whale had actually died, as sometimes sick whales go into “dive mode” and hold their breath for as long as an hour
