Please don't ever change or stop speaking.

I encourage you to speak up louder so the world can see that people like you represent the native Hawaiians I grew up with.

You realize that what gypsy69 is saying is not true right?

The 1 million dollars being paid now by TMT in good faith is the reason you see all these high schools competing at a National level in robotics designs. It's the reason there are many Hawaiian intern students getting paid to work in key areas of technology around the Island.

The accusation that it is a corrupt giveaway run by outsiders is also just that, an accusation. Part of the funds are managed by locals for the locals and they have been doing a good job.

I know many native Hawaiians that want science to be done on Maunakea. They want these partnerships to educate their kids, they want Hawaiians to lead in STEM fields. Don't assume gypsy69 is speaking for everyone or even is stating facts.
