Whereas the ahu did not exist on the TMT proposed site at the time of the original application, they do now, and in a traditional manner that should trigger full consultation and potential protection. Their presence-and possible absence-is undeniably significant by any reasonable measure, especially when understood within the framework of world religions. Beyond the ahu, I would extend my point to be inclusive of religious action on Mauna Kea in general over the past several years.
