Mauna a Wākea – Kirkwall Was Totally Built On a Hellmouth

reverseracism:

Aloha mai kākou,

I’m not sure if your blog does this, but I figure I’d try anyway. The people in the state of Hawaiʻi are currently under a lot of heavy struggle and pressure to preserve their Native Hawaiian cultural rights as there will be a Thirty-Meter Telescope (TMT) that is in the works of being built ASAP on our highest and most sacred mountain, Mauna a Wākea. There are already 12 telescopes on the mountain, but the TMT would be bigger than all of them combined. The TMT is getting support from CalTech, Japan, China, and shamefully, even our own University of Hawaiʻi system on our islands. Many Native Hawaiian ancestors and high chiefs are buried on that mountain, and construction there of that immense proportion is against Hawai’i state laws that protect historical, culturally sensitive, and environmental areas. Protestors on that mountain have been arrested as of Thursday (4/2/2015), about 30 of them, and they need help raising money to fly people out to Hawai’i island from neighbor islands to keep protesting against construction, for additional supplies (protestors are staying overnight in their cars; it is currently snowing and at an elevation of 9,000 ft.), and possibly for bail money so that the people may continue to defend their rights and their land. The protests have been peaceful and the protestors have blockaded entrance further up the mountain for TMT construction workers and vehiclese only, while still allowing tourist vans and regular observatory workers through.

“We humbly ask the world and all those who hold the Mauna sacred to aid us in this struggle, which is for all of us and our future generations,” says Kealoha. “Please get to the Mauna and support the brave warriors who are protesting indefinitely at the 9000 foot level.” The group is requesting donations for flights to and from Hawaiʻi between the other Hawaiian islands as well as much-needed accommodations, including food, ground transportation and other essentials.

“We need your kōkua (help) to continue our work on behalf of all concerned people of these islands,” says Kealoha.

“Or please support from where you are—here in the Islands or around the world,” says Kealoha. “I humbly offer my aloha and simple song for your needed charity that will be put 100 percent to good use. Mahalo.”
