"Protectors practicing nonviolent resistance were forcibly removed from the road to the summit of Haleakalā by police."  He hewa kena.  Error there.  Blocking a road is not nonviolent, especially when it is the only road to reach an important destination.  My sympathies are with the truck drivers who generously stopped their trucks when they could have kept peacefully driving along the road; and with the police who faced some very nasty people who have declared they will never obey any compromise or court decision. "My way or the highway" is their attitude.

"Why does the University of Hawaii support the Hōkūle‘a but is willing to desecrate our mountain?"  That's an easy one!  UH supports the search for knowledge and making use of that knowledge.  Both Hokule'a and the telescopes are focused on the stars.  Haleakala -- House of the Sun -- best place to worship the sun by using a telescope to study it.
