"Yeah I know, and saw it clearly, but will tell you, the Hawaiians can speak for themselves, and one of them, who is in favor of the TMT's development is saying that he is in the minority.

Rather than recognizing it's a valid point, and looking for resolution through acknowledging rather than denying the world around you."
If you saw it clearly, why twist it so much? And you still don't get it. He says he's in the minority of those that are vocal. I don't know if you are being stupid or you are assuming others are stupid, but the latter is a dangerous place to go.
There are statements from other native Hawaiians supporting the TMT and the observatories, so you are spinning things again. There are several examples but will provide just one for the moment, from your favorite Honolulu Civil Beat:

I have many others available if you want.
