TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo

The major issue with the EIS was that it concluded adverse cultural impacts

Kukiniloa,
Thanks for you input. Would you be able to provide more detail about the adverse cultural impacts?

So much has been presented about the effects of the observatories on Hawaiian culture and traditions on Mauna Kea, but it's difficult to find specific information.

1) What were Hawaiian pre-contact observances toward Mauna Kea?
2) Post contact?
3) Was it for ali'i only, or common people as well?
4) How did they get to the summit?
5) How many made the journey in an average year?

I ask these questions because in my collection of books, when I check the index in reference to Mauna Kea, almost nothing is listed. Historically, the White Mountain, is more an Invisible Mountain, with a brief mention of mining, and not much more.

Does anyone know more about the relationship between the Hawaiian people and Mauna Kea, preferably prior to statehood?
