But see that's my hope kalkoa, that those fights, between native groups and colonizing regimes of the past that cost so many lives before they were settled are emblematic of a time gone by, of a way of solving things that need not be practiced today. That by working out their differences peacefully the Hawaiian Nation and the USA together can be a harbinger of a new era of solving differences in which violence need not apply. That wrongs can be acknowledged and righted in a way that exemplifies us as an evolving, maturing, society.

So basically you're fighting against a telescope because you feel culturally guilty? This is a telescope that is an entirely new deal for Hawaii. They are paying millions in rent, education scholarships, and in environmental protection. And they are providing jobs for Hawaiians. The end product will inspire millions of people to awe at the greatness of the universe. It seems like this is exactly what you'd support: "That wrongs can be acknowledged and righted in a way that exemplifies us as an evolving, maturing, society."
