TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

So now a lawsuit-Simkin by the Temple of Lono. Here is an excerpt from their "kahuna" Nobriga.

For thousands of years, the Kahunas of Hawai'i have prayed for the success of the trust placed in the Hawaiian people to take care of (malama) the 'aina – the land, the sea, the air, and all the creatures therein. In these perilous times, the Kahuna rises each day to
greet the Sun with prayers for abundance and protection for the life of the land. The
concern runs deep.http://maoliworld.ning.com/group/huikaiula/forum/topics/temple-of-lono-document-frank

That sounds nice but I was surprised that these people have been here for thousands of years. I was of the impression that all the humans on these islands are haole, i.e. none are indiginous, all came here relatively recently from elsewhere.

All of the protestors seem to spout hyperbole and justify their actions based on this dictionary definition:

"A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object...
• a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. "
