I am Native Hawaiian. And I have no problem with TMT being built on Mauna Kea. I believe the overwhelming number of Hawaiians value ʻimi naʻauao, to seek knowledge. All of Hawaii is sacred land, not just Mauna Kea. The protesters have every right to protest, and the law has every right to clear them out of the way and put them in jail. Also like the fact that older telescopes will be decommissioned and the mountain cleared.
