Hawaiians have understood that the moon, stars & planets were put in the sky out of our reach for good reason. We use them for earthly reasons such as navigation, divinity, and time keeping. Indigenous science does not necessarily share the same ideals as western science. The same is also true about Mauna Kea; it holds a sacred place for indigenous Hawaiians. This sacred place is also not appreciated in the same way by most westerners who refuse to understand this. Western scientists have to respect & understand that they are in someone else's home. A proper visitor must always know his/her place & be mindful of manners & respect.
