Don’t be fooled people. The guy is robot and puppet and has zero feelings and emotions for what you all stand for. I hate to put it like that but if he truly is compassionate then he would’ve thought it through when he said all those shitty things. Can’t take it back. It shows his true colors. He is one sided and only for TMT. Reality...... don’t let your guard down.
I agree with you Bear 7! They are still geared to continue this project. I really do hope he has a change of heart. At this point, he seems very heartless.
Mauna Kea needs you!! People of Israel, I, Nadav Yair, am calling to your attention the wrong that is being done to the Hawaiian people and their Aina, their land. The desecration that the State and Federal Government is still doing since they stole the islands from the Hawaiians! Though we are in the middle east does not mean it is not our business! Injustice in Hawaii is the same injustice other nations do to us! We as Jews, and me as a Hawaiian Jew call on all to make your voice heard from Israel to Hawaii...leave the land of the Hawaiians to the Hawaiians! Save and fight for Mauna Kea!!!
I am a secular Jew and as you know our people have always stood with those who have been displaced. Not all of us, of course. The Palestinian situation has left the Jewish community at odds with each other. Many of us (including me) were in the South standing with the Civil rights movement and some of us died there. We were at Standing Rock with Native Peoples and we are in support of Hawaiians in the TMT struggle as well as Ka'ho'olawe back in the day. We signed the petition presented to the TMT funders in Palo alto. We donate to the Community Bail Fund and to Kahea so that we can support as much as possible from the SF Bay Area. So know that there are Jewish people involved in support activities even when we can't be on the Mauna. I support the BDS movement in support of our Palestinian cousins.
@@sandramorey2529 so that you know the bus movements main goal is to remove the Jews from their homeland! A land that was given to them by the creator of the entire universe! Being secular is everyone's right, but lack of understanding and knowledge go together with being secular.
Aloha, and Yahuah bless you. You may also wish to know, as a "Hawaiian Jew" that ALL, Native Hawaiians, Polynesians,and Native Americans, are actually from Northern Israel, and were originally Hebrews of the tribe of Nephtali. Check out YT channel cepher publishing group, and discover more truth there. As a 1/8 Hawaiian blood, from a kahuna family, originally from Maui, I stand with my brothers and sisters in YAH, that are PROTECTORS OF MAUNA KIA. My prayers are with them. Shalom.
@@sandramorey2529 Aloha, I am 1/8 Native Hawaiian, and if you check out YT channel cepher publishing group, and Dr. Stephen Pidgeon, PhD. you will discover that Polynesians, Native Hawaiians, and Native Americans, are actually originally Hebrews, from the House of Israel, Northern Israel, Tribe of Nephtali. Mahalo for your comment. Aloha nui loa.
Kind of disrespectful how he decided he had no words to share after her prayer. At least thank them for welcoming you. Someone who can’t articulate a simple expression of gratitude is governing an entire state? 🤦🏻♂️
Steven T. I was there. He did thank the people.... afterwards. He didn’t say anything productive all he said is he looks forward to more dialogue. We all know what that means...
Aloha Governor Ige, I just wanted to know if you felt all that MANA & Aloha that the protectors of Mauna Kea have for you? Did you look deep into the Kupuna's eyes as you honi them ( an exchange of ha, breath) did you look deep into there eyes? They welcomed you as Ohana. The kumu's welcomed you with there hula halau as a high chief. you maybe felt like Daniel when he walked into the lions den, but you was greeted with true, pure LOVE & ALOHA. Did you feel that, I mean did your heart & soul feel that? I stand before you with my Father Uncle Joe Tassill by my side ( you know he would be there with his 1 leg in his wheelchair chained to that cattle rail with Kupuna Walter Ritie willing to be the 1st to be arrested) I Akihikaua Ali'i Sir Kalani Tassill KCK of the Royal Order of Kamehameha Kahekili Chapter Helu Eha Maui humbly ask you to move the TMT to the alternate site. As the Navigator sailed into trouble waters or strong opposition he changed his coarse into much calmer seas. As the navigator of Hawaii sometimes it is wise to change your coarse. The choice is truly yours to choose.... I ask you to think with your heart & choose....Aloha Kalani Tassill
Ige coming out is good! It indicates he now trusts the people and hopefully he felt their emotions as well. He bared witness the peaceful and organized protest with Kapu Aloha. 🤙🏾
You can see the desperation of the people hoping that he would make a difference, it’s heart breaking. But you can tell that he’s for the telescope. I wish these people could understand.
Yup. He's for the money and american political influence. The government is supposed to protect and serve the Hawaiian people. But they choose to protect and serve the palagi
To be clear: According to National and International law, Government's oath is to act according to the rule of law; and protection of the people's rights. Human rights violations are war crimes (in this instance for Mauna Kea); regarding the Native Tennant Rights with the people and sacred lands.
Beautiful my Hawaii Aina .. Stand strong don't let them sell or lease properties that will take away the beauty of our lands.. Don't let the Government of Hawaii let pollution in our lands. This is our back yard we play in, not there's no money that can be given to Hawaii Nei for the foreigner to obstruct our view of tranquility or to destroy the soil of growth....
Our own people in office n unions making these decisions seen it been there no can blame no one but us choke Hawaiians demanded that we stop defending koa ridge were this land is sacred so that they have jobs n alot of them was Hawaiians now koa ridge is gone n we people can't even buy this houses being built so no blame no one they protesting mauna cause it won't affect they poket book
With "Millions in Kickbacks" on hold, and all the "Red Tape" bringing the "Rail, to a Halt" and the TMT protests on Mauna Kea, Gov. Ige, may be, "Getting Desperate"!
@@shigshag6164 Feed My Family? Show some Respect? First of all, it was off the "Blood, Sweat and Tears"!, of Me and Wife's Backs, that "Feeds, Pays the Bills, puts a Roof over their Heads and Clothes on their Backs, of "Our Family"! And I'm not sure where you come from, but, where I come from, "You've Gotta Give Respect, To Get the R.E.S.P.E.C.T"!
No he ain't hawaiian. Japanese stick to their own kind, they always have. Even though they make out a large percent of the population in Hawaii you will see more hawaiians that are white/caucasian than japanese. Over 90% of the population in Hawaii are non-Hawaiians... its been this way for over 100 years... this shiit is just crazy I'm surprised my Native people hasn't gone extinct yet.
It's not considered sacred land it is sacred land so address Mauna with respect that she deserves Mayor Ige I hope u came with pure aloha and understanding in your soul or pray to Akua Mauna doesn't strike u in your soul in the worst ways as she will protect her own and that is the kapuna and kanaka maoli protectors guarding her in the flesh for your eyes to see
Haha...talk about awkward.... !!! Hope he was wearing Depends....I think he might have leaked some kaka... Look at all those piercing stink eyes as he approach the Kupunas. Da Gov was so nervous and stiff..... to meet and greet the Leaders. what If , the very 1st Kupuna he greets, going in for the honi, he trips and headbutts by accident...........then ALL hell breaks loose........!!! Da Gov.... making history either way.
I hope that governor knows they need to stop the greed. Government of hawaii is thinking of only monies in there pockets an wasting money for infrastructures that is not needed on the islands what is needed is More housing for the people of hawaii, since the government pushing the hawaiian Natives out to the streets to humiliation. We need to take care our own first. Hawaii stay strong beautiful humbleness maikai... Aloha ... Hawaii we love you. Watching from a far.
The only Voting our Island people need to do is to make a vote in our own Legislative for our Independent nation we have passed our sovereign state we are an independent state that has been well established from pass to present.. The government you see today is here fed, state, county, is only here until our Hawaiian Natives finally put together there own Legislative branch an Oha Some of the councils should not be in office they are there not to malama pono the people but for them self. This is my own opinion on the organization. We the Hawaiian People shouldn't have been going through this. All decisions should have been heard from the Native Hawaiian People first the board should have thought about hearing our people to see if this is what we want an need. Any thing to do with our waters Aina sky meaning pollution in our air.. We The People Should be notified of any change in our Nation why we live breathe occupy ever resource that our Aina has for our people... When they made there own decision to approve this knowing what happen in the pass when they did anything on our Aina our people stand up an said No an protested that. Now the Government secretly do things with out the people knowing because it's all about Monies..
The governor is serine and must be as governor of Hawaii for the well being of all people of Hawaii. His action speaks for its self he is concern of the forward movement of the construction and building of mauna kea telescope for the reason of science and knowledge not cultural practices. My questuon to the governor is did he ponopono do what is right?? Look into the lease of the aina and ho o mahope and move forward. Ua mau ke ia o ka aina i ka pono. We are keepers of the land. Aloha. Very much like to this see and hear this pulikea pau so we can move on!!! Forward "imua".
Some information I think most people against TMT don’t actually know... it won’t be visible from the summit or lake Waiau or any burials. It will also be a mile away from the closest worship site and *does not sit on a site where any traditional culture is practiced.* Also they plan to decommission 5 of the 13 scopes at the summit and fully restore the land leaving only 9 amazingly useful telescopes. For everyone that thinks this scope will ruin there aquifer, it will be a closed loop system and any waste will be piped off the mountain and fully treated, leaving no pollution to water or mountain. Runs off of normal power grid with a normal A/C *Not a nuclear reactor.* A survey taken in 2018 had a 78% approval rate among locals. TMT is also going to use local workers and not outsource. With millions donated to local schools and the agreement to work with culture and pay a million in rent a year(other scopes have not had to pay any rent). After 50 year lease TMT will be removed from mountain along with all the other scopes. There is enough space for culture and science to live in harmony on Mauna Kea.
People should do something about it but don’t go to the fucking road and protest, people have shit to do and it’s so fucking annoying when people are on the road while people try to go to work.
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."
To much focus n crying on maunakea when the rest of Hawaii is being sold out u all blind look around nex time u driving around there is a bigger threat so go protest cause all of Hawaii is sacred even the land your house is built on you all going fight for mauna but leave all other lands to be sold that's jus as important then mauna koaridge warriors out
Look at how civilised and peaceful are the demonstrators of Mauna Kea as compared to the violent and uncivilised demonstrators of Hong Kong. Yet the USA support the violent Hong Kong rioters in the name of freedom and democracy. Why USA said nothing to support the demonstrators of Mauna Kea ?
Huh. Violent demonstration in Hong Kong. Apparently you haven't been watching what everyone else has been. It's the pro Chinese that have been causing violence. Not the people of Hong Kong. SMH. Both of these people are fighting for their rights.
I dont understand....Ancient hawaiians were one of...if not the best astronomers and navigators in the world. I would think ancient hawaiian ancestors would love the fact the advancements of technology to learn even more about our galaxy to better the future and survival of MANKIND. TMT benefits the WORLD, not only one state, one culture. I'm sure there can be a solution that can benifit both sides. Just one thing that I'm wondering.....If the land was so sacred, why are there already 13 telescopes in 12 structures up on mauna kea already? What's one more gonna do? Besides I thought the state agreed to knock down a few existing structures to build the new TMT on those sites. That way no MORE land would be used. Just the land that is already being used. I'm just glad....so far....its been pretty peaceful between both sides.
808 G8GT cool thing is, Hawai'ians never needed a telescope to use the stars for navigation. They created maps to travel with thier naked eye. So, these other countries who are for tmt need to be on the tallest mountain in the world from it's seabase. WITH a HUGE thirty meter and 18 story high telescope at the top to view far into space and to see stars. That's kind of embarrassing how they need that when the natives didn't lol.
I hope he goes with the majority and not the few. My Hawaii is behind the telescope, and education, and further learning. Hawaii is for improvement not going backwards. Learn from the past and move forward. Freedom for everyone. All land is sacred.
I think it's pretty clear that the majority of Hawaiians do not support TMT. It's also pretty clear that Mauna a Wakea holds no significance in your heart. You have no reverance for the Mauna or the people who revere it. There's already 13 telescopes up there. The one they want to put up now is far too close to burials. If it was your grandparents buried there, perhaps you'd feel differently. I hope your heart changes about this.
@@toadstoolfilms9485 No you fail to see. Making claims about me, creating a straw man is an effective tactic if it isn't called out. I dont not care about any of my dead relatives, their lives mattered when they were alive, they moved on for us. I respect their struggles but their struggles are not my struggles. They are dirt and dust. I dont believe any of your fairy tales about life after death, prove it first then I'll see. It's a mountain made if dirt, too high to support any life besides a few bugs, and a few plants, which are easily conserved. It would help the whole planet full of people if tmt was built, while you "hawaiians" fight to protect the piece of dirt by calling it "sacred". Everything is "sacred" to me, what makes this mountain different? You're worried about pollution? You guys probably put the endigenous species of bugs that lives there in jeopardy. Not pono.
Grant A Majority of Hawaiians oppose TMT what are talking about. Please don’t cite that 2018 poll with the “78% approval rating” when less than 10% of the individuals polled were Native Hawaiians.
808 G8GT Give me a break. When you use the word Hawaiian, it is to indicate an ethnic group. If you grew up in Hawaii and don't know that by now, then something is severely wrong with you. And what's best for our children's children? TMT will be decommissioned in probably 30 years after it's built. It will just be another eye sore for Hawaiians.
