Vice does a Mauna Kea article...

DVRed a show from their series "Rise" about indigenous issues. Haven't watched yet.

A quote from everyone's favorite, Kealoha Pisciotta:
"When I worked up there, I didn't necessarily see it as a conflict, as I come from star people. However, where the conflict began is when the landscape began to be dominated by human [constructions] and it was removing the space for sanctity and reverence. Since 2001, our position has been no further development."
And Kalani Flores:
"It's a divine connection to other life forms on other star systems. Our ancestral knowledge is actually embedded in the sites up there—it's imprinted and can still be activated."
I'm fuzzy on the whole star people thing but will hopefully eventually understand the utility. On the whole it seems like sound reasoning to oppose a telescope though.
Cheers,
Kirt
