There is a new burial site in the middle of the TMT site. Native Hawaiians have been allowed by law to bury their dead on native grounds, even their home land property.
Mauna Kea is recognized as an active Native Hawaiian burial ground area, as well as an ancestral burial area.
The new Native Hawaiian burial site in the middle of the TMT site was applied for, as required by law, and was granted legally.

Looks like another issue has materialized.
Yes, SHPD was notified of the alleged burial site, but they haven't done anything further regarding the notification of this burial. In other words, they haven't approved anything. Please show me in said document where SHPD has taken any action.
