Article XII a Section 7 states:
customarily and traditionally exercised for subsistence,cultural and religious purposes
If a court case is ever brought forward questioning the definition of customarily and traditionally, it will be interesting to see how the mechanical & highly technological 4 wheel drive vehicle is considered an acceptable adaptation to the summit of Mauna Kea, but observatories are not.
And if a reason offered is that you can see the observatories on the mountain, it's also true that on clear evenings and nights you can also see headlights of cars and trucks driving on the access road, even from as far away as Puna.
