Compare/contrast
“The goal is to honor our Native Hawaiian culture,” Marissa Harman, director of asset management at Kamehameha Schools, told Civil Beat in an interview last week.
Another goal is to generate revenue and long-term economic returns for Kamehameha Schools… The school’s endowment was valued at $14.7 billion in 2021.
Building a resort on the sacred birthplace of one of the Kamehameha's? Crowding a local beach with tourists? That sounds somewhat worse than building a road so the summit of Mauna Kea can be accessed by Native Hawaiians, along with another goal of researching the heavens by astronomers. Neither of which will pack the mountain top with tourists who distract cultural and religious practitioners, or astronomers.
$14 billion (Kam Schools) sounds like a lot, lot more than $2 billion (TMT) if mauka summit Protectors and makai beach Protectors are extracting concessions. Of course, Kam Schools already provides a top quality education for Native Hawaiians and the TMT backers offer STEM scholarships. Has anyone noticed where the Protector camp is for those benefits?
