Mauna a Wākea is “ka makahiapo kapu na Wakea,” the sacred firstborn of the union of Papahānaumoku, She who is the foundation birthing islands, and Wākea, He who is the wide expanse of the heavens. As the highest point on Hawaiʻi island and the tallest mountain in the world, Mauna aWākea is the piko, or summit, where the earth meets the sky. The mauna is also the elder sibling of both the kalo plant andKānaka (people), all fathered byWākea. Archaeological inventory surveys have identified over 263 historic properties in the Mauna Kea Summit Region Historic District, including 141 ancient shrines in the Mauna Kea Science Reserve. In 1968, the state’s Land Board issued a lease for the construction of a single telescope. That one telescope has since multiplied to 13 observatories. More recently, in 2010, the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo filed a Conservation District Use Application on behalf of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) Corporation for the proposed construction of what would be the most massive observatory yet. The TMT would be 180 feet tall, about 18 stories high, with a footprint of more than five acres, which would require excavating 20 feet into the northern plateau of the sacred mountain, removing 1,782,000 cubic feet of pāhoehoe lava and earth. Two 5,000-gallon tanks, each capable of storing 18 tons of chemical and human waste water, are proposed to be located underground over the Waimea aquifer and the other four aquifers that feed the island. Fourteen tons of toxic human wastewater and chemical wastewater are proposed to be trucked down the mountain once a month. The State Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) approved the CDUP for the TMT in February 2011. On April 2 2015, the TMT attempted to begin construction, while the case was pending at the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court. There were 31 arrests of kiaʻi (protectors) who took a stand to defend Mauna a Wākea from construction crews. Three months later, on June 24, over 800 Kānaka Maoli and their allies stood to protect the mauna, with 12 arrests that day. The Hawaiʻi Supreme Court issued a stay of construction, and in December 2015, ruled that the permit was invalid and remanded the case back to the BLNR. In a second hearing, on September 3

Maunakea 教学：Kia'i 视角

Mauna a Wākea 是“ka makahiapo kapu na Wakea”，是帕帕哈瑙莫库（Papahānaumoku）和Wākea（天堂的广阔天地）联合的神圣长子。作为夏威夷岛上的最高点和世界上最高的山峰，Mauna aWākea 是地球与天空相遇的地方。mauna 也是 kalo 植物和 Kānaka（人）的长兄，都是 Wākea 的父亲。考古清单调查已在 Mauna Kea Summit Region Historic District 确定了超过 263 处历史遗产，其中包括 Mauna Kea Science Reserve 中的 141 座古代神殿。1968 年，该州土地委员会签发了建造单台望远镜的租约。从那以后，这台望远镜已经增加到 13 个天文台。最近，在 2010 年，夏威夷大学希洛分校代表三十米望远镜 (TMT) 公司提交了一份保护区使用申请，以提议建造迄今为止规模最大的天文台。TMT 高 180 英尺，高约 18 层，占地面积超过 5 英亩，需要在圣山北部高原挖掘 20 英尺，移除 1,782,000 立方英尺的 pāhoehoe 熔岩和泥土。两个 5,000 加仑的水箱，每个能储存 18 吨化学废水和人类废水，拟建在威美亚含水层和为该岛提供水源的其他四个含水层的地下。拟每月将14吨有毒人类废水和化学废水用卡车运下山。国家土地和自然资源委员会 (BLNR) 于 2011 年 2 月批准了 TMT 的 CDUP。2015 年 4 月 2 日，TMT 试图开始建设，而此案正在夏威夷最高法院待审。有 31 人逮捕了 kia'i（保护者），他们站出来保护 Mauna a Wākea 免受施工人员的侵害。三个月后，即 6 月 24 日，800 多名卡纳卡毛利人和他们的盟友站出来保护毛纳人，当天逮捕了 12 人。夏威夷最高法院下令暂停施工，并于 2015 年 12 月裁定许可证无效并将案件发回 BLNR。在第二次听证会上，9 月 3 日 有 31 人逮捕了 kia'i（保护者），他们站出来保护 Mauna a Wākea 免受施工人员的侵害。三个月后的 6 月 24 日，超过 800 名卡纳卡毛利人和他们的盟友站出来保护毛纳人，当天逮捕了 12 人。夏威夷最高法院下令暂停施工，并于 2015 年 12 月裁定许可证无效并将案件发回 BLNR。在第二次听证会上，9 月 3 日 有 31 人逮捕了 kia'i（保护者），他们站出来保护 Mauna a Wākea 免受施工人员的侵害。三个月后的 6 月 24 日，超过 800 名卡纳卡毛利人和他们的盟友站出来保护毛纳人，当天逮捕了 12 人。夏威夷最高法院下令暂停施工，并于 2015 年 12 月裁定许可证无效并将案件发回 BLNR。在第二次听证会上，9 月 3 日
