- It was one of the biggest demonstrations seen so far, close to 2000 kiai, who call themselves the protectors of Mauna Kea, marched two miles on Sunday from Fort DeRussy to the Honolulu zoo.
Keep your hope in this kanaka. We are the aina and we will not go down without a fight or be forced to back down. We are Hawaii!! Kū kiaʻi Mauna🤙🏾
All of Hawaii should be sacred. Not just Mauna Kea
Wrong
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom not really
Nothing is "sacred". We dont use that language, it was used before science helped us understand better. Not saying its not an important place, just saying, you cant use old school words in your new school issues. This is coming from a 5th generation resident of Hawaii.
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom more like you are the racist .
Grant A but why spit on untouched land? Humans are always trying to mess with nature! We don’t need any more pollution on the island 😞
Native Hawaiian traditional and cultural rights are secured by article XII, Section 7 of the Hawaii State Constitution.
"The State reaffirms and shall protect all rights, customarily and traditionally exercised for subsistence, cultural and religious purposes and possessed by ahupua‘a tenants who are descendants of native Hawaiians who inhabited the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778, subject to the right of the State to regulate such rights."
Simple! Find a mountain somewhere else
Anyone who believes Keanu Sai's ridiculous assertions needs to really study. Here is "A BRIEF HAWAIIAN HISTORY" : The earliest trace of human activity in these islands is 1300 ad. For 400 years (1300-1700 ad) islanders from dozens of Pacific islands colonized the archipelago that came to be known as the Sandwich Isles. All natives were slaves of the Ali’i Tabu chiefs. Chief Kamehameha the 1st, John Young and Isaac Davies brutally conquered these islands with English canons, muskets and Chinese black powder (1790ad). Now 'King' Kamehameha made John Young the governor of Big Island and Isaac Davies his minister on Oahu. Kamehameha the 1st appointed Alexander Adams as the Commander of the Hawaiian Navy. He delivered shiploads of Sandalwood cut Hawaiian slaves. to China. Kamehameha 2, his regents and all of the Ali'i ended the Kapu religions and removed all temples from all Islands (1820). The missionaries arrived shortly thereafter and combined all of their Austronesian dialects into one English 'Olelo' for the printing of a native newspaper. The Russians attacked (twice) along with France and England), thus the US/Hawaii protection treaties of have been in effect since 1826 to keep us safe. Kamehameha 3 created a Hawaiian Constitution which freed all native slaves and stated " all men are equal in the kingdom regardless of race color or creed ". He created the three branches of government. (1840's) He created the Great Mahele land divisions where the chiefs own their kuleanas (land) and could sell them. Kamehameha 4 passed the Alien Land Sales Act. The Ali'i (elite) sold their kuleanas (properties) then moved to town or mainland. The Ali'i (lords) displaced the Maka'ainana and Kauwa (peasants) when they sold their lands. The native Hawaiians went to the royal schools and mainland universities. They became great, loggers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, road makers, shop owners, policemen, hotel owners, musicians, statesmen etc,, Kamehameha 5 created the 'unicameral legislature then died without an heir. Kamehameha the fifth left all power to the unified Nobles and Legislature. The legislature voted Lunalilo as the Chief executor of the constitutional republic. Lunalilo died after 1 year. The Nobles and The Legislature chose David Kalakaua as chief executor of the Constitutional Monarchy. Kalakaua signed into law and stood by his final Constitution of 1886. He brought the nobles into the legislature to ensure fairness in constitutional government. He created the building codes and health dept. He brought electricity and telescopes to the islands. He traveled the World encouraging people to move here to bring wealth and labor to the islands, He ceded land and sea to the USA at Pu'uloa and Pearl (1875) for a naval base and stationed Marines there to assist the Honolulu Rifles when the riots of the 1880's and 90's were too much for them to handle. The five noble kings and Prince Kuhio were annexationists who feared Japanese, Russian and Chinese Imperial aggression. David Kalakaua, a lawyer and 33rd degree Freemason passed away unexpectedly. After swearing an oath to the 1886 constitution The Nobles and The Legislature allowed his adopted sister, 4th proxy successor, twice exiled for revolution, Liliuokalani to assume the role as proxy monarch. Liliuokalani attempted to overthrow the incumbent government by secretly staging an armed rebellion against the legal government of the Hawaiian Islands. The days of 'absolute monarchs were 50 years past. Hawaii was a democratic republic at that point. The legislature of nobles and statesmen met for 160 continuous days to deliberate her crimes and impeachment. She without question broke the laws of the land and was sentenced 5 years for treason ( of which she served months in detention in her home). She willingly abdicated all claims of dictatorial powers and swore an oath to the Republic in the presence of her lawyers and family (see below). She received a large sum of money and properties and remained the governess of Oahu. All major countries , their consulates, ambassadors, kings, and presidents of the World sent letters of acceptance of the new Republic of Hawaii. The legitimate government Hawaii and the USA made powerful acts, treaties and joint resolutions towards a union. USA forgave all debts of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Prince Kuhio called for annexation and spent the last few decades of his life fighting for US Congress to pass his US/Hawaii Statehood Admissions Act which when finally accepted by the USA 93% of Hawaii's people's voted for and rejoiced in becoming the 50th state of the United States. The laws and government that the 5 noble kings (K3,4,5,Lunalilo, Kalakaua) created are still the form of government we have today. Since 1843 all men were equal and free in the kingdom. 'Hawaiian' is a multi-cultural nationality, not a race. A Hawaiian is any naturalized subject of the kingdom. All people were invited here by the kings. All big titles were signed by the kings. Equal and legal are all races of people in the Hawaiian Kingdom, Republic and State.
Where’s OHA and what do they have to say? You voted for them.
꧁кυ'υαlσнα꧂ aka: aloha Vote them all out until you find folks who represent you!
King Kamehameha could return in the flesh and OHA wouldn't acknowledge his legitimacy.
꧁кυ'υαlσнα꧂ aka: aloha FACCCTSSS!!!
Scott Ishikawa you have some support for TMT but don't even acknowledge how much support we have growing all over the world...Awe...Aole TMT!
Kū kiaʻi kapu Mauna Kea.
They need to respect the majority and the mountain. Not piss everyone off and cause separation. One Earth! One Love! One people!💚
I’m Hawaiian I been born and raised a local boy from the country where rubber slippahs and surf shorts is dress code. I’m all for TMT....
Somewhere other than Hawai’i.. I’m moved by all the peaceful protest. Other than the obvious. Taking land again and people in power getting a cut and leaving Hawaiians without anything. How many jobs will it create for Hawaiians not residents that moved here 2-3 years just so they can say they’ve been residents they’re local and it helped the local people out? If we dug up the graves of the family members of the supporters and polluted there water in there personal homes and didn’t give them a penny. Would they be against TMT then?
a diconnected local parading around.....totally blind to his culture...plenty like you dont know the true history of hawaii....just keep being a good American we'll keep fighting ,literally lol!
O LEN read the second part of his comment...have to click read more
Anyone have the protest videos on Wet N wild ?
Let’s go Hawaiians show um we ain’t going nowhere
No one is getting kicked out of their homes. Why all the crying ? Everywhere you turn Hawaiians are crying about something . Protesting every god damn thing.
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom go get educated and learn about what racism is . I am an US Citizen . Why would I go there ? Stop being an idiot .
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom huh ? were did you come up with that silliness ? You think i have issues with brown people ? lol god damn you are one ignorant girl.
jeffsupersaiyan well maybe your issues are with Hawaiians or any other aboriginal people. Based on your comments Its plausible you’d also have issues with any other oppressed people’s... so you may not be a racists, but you’re definitely the worlds worst troll. Jeffery, seriously..., you’re not good at this. Not one bit. Give me back my dragon ball dishonored troll!
@@joeykaalekahi338 not really when I say Hawaiians I mean people in the state of Hawaii . That is what it means . Hawaiians are US citizens whether they like it or not .
For people who don't see what the real protests is about... educate yourself!!!! It all about water, water is life!!!
Nearly 77% of Hawaii’s residents were in favor of the TMT construction while only 15% opposed. Hawaii’s “native” population is a bit over 10%.
I would think that the majority of the native population would see the importance the stars played in their heritage. Didn’t their ancestors use the stars to navigate in order to get to the Hawaiian Islands?
On another note: How are so many protesters able to participate in this movement? I wonder if the majority are unemployed and are taking advantage of public assistance?
Steven Rich aloha to you Mr. Rich! We rotate up at the Mauna :) many of us work full time jobs, others have employers who support their spiritual and constitutional rights. That survey was 800 people. Sample bias seems to be an issue with the data. Also, sorry to say, but the Mauna belongs to Kanaka. Not all Hawaii residents. Mahalo! 🤙🏾
Sara Kobayashi exactly
Its funny they say some people acknowledge and all for tmt. But who?? People who moved here from the mainland that arent hawaiian. Im sorry Im not hawaiian but I feel and stand with them.
No such thing as Hawaiian . You are either a US Citizen or you arent .
jeffsupersaiyan
That’s a pretty stupid ass comment Troll.
Hawaiian is also a way of being and living. To me you embody what a Hawaiian is. I hanai as a Hawaiian National, you are now a dual citizen 😊.
We have the best drinking water on earth, manua kea collects our drinking water, build on that mountain will polluted all of our resources, and you can't replace that with a telescope, or money
Gerald Copeland lol 😂 wtf you taking about ??🤣🤣🤣
please get educated
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom not really
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom You dont even know what racism is . That is why you are ignorant . Stop doing drugs .
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom lol time to ignore that guy. Nothing but a troll--commenting everywhere, talking down on everyone but never offering real context to back up his empty statements. Waste time...
Kū kiaʻi Mauna!

I'm against the protests. I think the telescope is an awesome thing.

No TNT!
It was never about the telescope, it's about the principal
Huh they protect the sacred land so much that they when allow 13 telescopes to be built on Mauna Kea 💯💯🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
22Halfbreed allow?? Lol kanaka been fighting to preserve the mauna since day one. So ignorant and quick to talk. Do some research
Oh boy

aloha aina=hawaii
woooooowwwwwww
Come down with me
Take a trip with me to reality
Come down and see
See what they've done to Waikiki
And ask me why
Damn it open your eyes
Can't you see we lost are paradise
Theres to many people and not enough sand
Can't you see we want are land
And why do we grumble bout this concrete jungle
Of the people who were once humble
one way sign you know I think they are blind
They can't recognize a don't walk sign
To much hotels
You it looks like hell!
Nomo Hawaiian style...
Why is Mauna Kea sacred to Hawaiians? Because the Kahanu would travel to the summit and brave the cold to study the sky and wonder and try to understand about our place in the universe. Hawaiians were very good astronomers, which allowed the Hawaiians to travel the vast Pacific with astonishing accuracy long before Europeans even dared sail out of sight of land. That's why when the 30 meter telescope was first proposed, the Hawaiian Voyaging Society supported it.
Another thing is, the wish of the Ali'i was to make Hawaii another educational destiny like Oxford or New England Ivy league schools. That's why Lahainaluna High School was the first public high school West of the Rockies in the current U.S. That's why they sent their keiki to far flung corners of the world to obtain world class education. I've read that Queen Liliokalani was Oxford educated and could even speak French fluetnty. The Ali'i did this to inspire the Hawaiian people to desire and thrive for education so the Hawaiians themselves would be the professors and educators in. what they envisioned as the Oxford of the Pacific.
It is ironic to me that so many Hawaiians are now rejecting something that would put Hawaii on the map as the number 1 astronomical destination in the world.. And what could be more inspiring to Hawaiian children then making Hawaii a cornerstone of seeking the greatest question since mankind looked up in the sky and wondered, "Why are we here?" .
Bunch of cry babies
@kawika dav Or what ? you will attack me lol . You didnt see me there I was the guy with the sign that said stop crying . Playing Bob Marley Dont worry be happy .
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom you hate that you cant make a proper come back and you are ignorant on what racism is . Just because I have a different opinion doesn't make me racist . please stop crying
@kawika dav I work for a living and I dont drink . Thank you for the offer . Maybe when I take another stay vacation In Waikiki and if I see the Protest and You see me we can meet .
@kawika dav You didnt see me because you werent looking . I was in Waikiki. Where this protest happened. Tourist also think it is funny .
@kawika dav doubtful
Eʻō!
That spokesman says gots lots of supporters for TMT and some who don’t!... lol it’s more like Lots of supporters for The MAUNA and some for TMT lol can’t u see the TMT supporter protest vs Mauna Protest lol way more .
Its weird how they have taken this question and made it like "Hawaiian or else". It ain't like that. Let em build the research facility, it would be the BEST in the world. Nothing goes on in the spot they want to build. So many questions we could answer, so many improvements we could be making.
Grant A just because noting is going on doesn’t mean that animals don’t live there .... it’s untouched land for a reason. We don’t need more pollution on our island. Just because there is room doesn’t mean you should trash it 😞
Not too sure what you mean when you say TMT would "be the BEST in the world." There's no such thing as an all-encompassing telescope that does everything. Telescopes gather different data/imagery based on its design. TMT would be the largest land based optical/IR telescope right until they finish the European Extremely Large Telescope or E-ELT. It will be a full 9 meters in diameter wider than the TMT.
I dont even know why all these universities and private corporations waste their money on land-based telescopes in the first place. The James Webb Space Telescope will blow them all out of the water anyway. Even after Trump's cuts to NASA's budget they're still approved to spend $8.5 Billion on the project. Kinda small compared to TMT's $1.4 Billion dont you think?
like what...get 13 up there....tell me one humatiarian issue it solved.. poverty, oppression, war, what explain please!
It would be the best if it's the newest, isn't that how things work, we keep getting better, not static, not preventing growth, stuff that's pono, not like standing in the middle of the road and blocking stuff cause the judge is not on our side. I think it would be a positive for the human species, were part of the human species right?
