In 2008 I visited Hawai’i briefly and took a guided tour up Mauna Kea to visit the observatories. I had no idea at the time that it is sacred indigenous land. I hope the indigenous people can overcome the plans to build more telescopes, desecrating their land.
Scott Yoshinaga There are varying views on whether the Mauna is sacred. Some believe that parts are, but not all. Don't have an opinion on it myself, but thought the viewpoint was interesting.
Miraz Jordan @kimonostereo Thanks for that additional perspective. I hope the locals can sort this out for themselves.
David Johnson @kimonostereo Thank you for sharing this article. I found it very interesting and helpful.
