Seriously, DT, you will never know the "truth" on this matter. Let it go. Baiting is what you're doing. Let us have our beliefs, and you can have yours. Continuing your disdain for our culture is not productive. You don't believe in what we believe in. Got it.
Just so you know, the protestors were told "the guests" wanted to go to the bathroom. Some went to the bathroom, but used the excuse to walk up to the blessing area. This was perceived as deceitful to the protestors. There is the truth on this particular issue. That is what riled up that young man who called them "snakes". Poor form for him, absolutely. Disgraceful, absolutely. He's young and was angry at being "deceived again" by ka po'e haole. He was wrong for using such language. No question.
However, the words you choose are biting, and completely disrespectful to our Akua, Kupuna, and all of us kanaka maoli. I hope you find some sense of peace and solace in this life, especially if you indeed live here on our Moku O Keawe. Kepalo is the only being who feeds off of your kind of disdain for our people and our culture. SMDH.
The project will move forward with a lot of controversy and legal wrangling in the process.
The end. Pau.
JMO.
ETA: SMDH, too. Un-freaking-believable. [
