The arrogance of cultural suppression at it's finest, right here on Punatalk. Bullys mocking the community their culture marginalized. I would have liked to see one important telescope rather than a handful of lower tech structures but THE ENDS DO NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS. Bulldozing any land up there without cultural oversight.... Uggh. These particular astronomers and their sycophants think Hawaii owes them this mountain. Wrong. However, If the Protectors lose the case because they cant prove religious sovereignty, maybe they can appeal based on scientific advances in Anthropological DNA harvesting techniques.

So busy concerning themselves with genetic proof of life on other planets and literally desecrating known anthropological sites right below their feet. What does that bode for treatment of far off worlds? Maybe the astronomy community wouldn't be so uncomfortable here if they hadn't nestled their fat rumps firmly on top of gravesites. It's not just a figure of speech that they have the bones of Hawaiians shoved up their backsides.
As for the extremely vocal, anti-Hawaiian, British expats, it is a hard reality to face but the South Sandwich Isles haven't been part of the Commonwealth for a very long time. Re: Hawaii, she changed back to her maiden name. Maybe she's just not that into you and it's time to move on (or back to Pasadena.)
Hi Gypsy. Don't let the haters get your important voice gone. They moved here because they thought TMT a done deal, invested in land and are now sitting around twiddling their thumbs, spreading propaganda because they just can't imagine losing at anything.
If respecting the past is the key to the future, it's a small price to pay.
