I canʻt get through the paywall to see how the 2020 article came to the opposite conclusion
kalianna,
I added the Star Advertiser 2018 poll to my list above, which shows 72% Native Hawaiian support for the TMT. That number dropped by 2019.
Most of the support or opposition to the TMT has been relatively consistent over time, except amoung Native Hawaiians which shifted dramatically. There are many opinions as to why this occurred, but it's doubtful there's a simple answer.
It seems the legistlature's solution to dividing Mauna Kea management between two agencies, UH and the new group is an attempt at compromise, something for everyone that will leave neither side entirely satisfied. Personally I think it's the best solution we could hope for.
