"We’ve heard the chirping and the rumors about Mayor Harry Kim trying to bring certain Hawaiian leaders of the Hawaiian community to the table to have some kinds of discussion. We’re not privy to any of the information in there because none of us on the Mauna are any of the individuals who have been included on that list. Who, exactly, he’s bringing in, we’re not exactly sure. And what exactly he hopes to achieve, I’m not sure either. Because if he hopes to achieve anything even remotely connected to TMT, I think it’s been made clear that that’s gonna have to go through the kia#699;i on the Mauna."
And then said:
"And our thing is stopping TMT. No meeting, no conversation that he has is gonna change our mind. Whether he talks to us, whether he talks to other leaders of the community. We are set. We are committed. And we are not going anywhere until we know that TMT is not a threat to Mauna Kea."
Can anyone explain this logic? Not defending Kim, but it seems he's trying to talk to native Hawaiian leaders who are willing to listen and compromise.
