Summary:

This document describes a lawsuit that was filed by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) against the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The lawsuit was filed because OHA felt that NASA's plan to build a 45 million dollar telescope atop Mauna Kea failed to protect the ancient shrines, graves, and rare habitat that exist on this mountain that is considered sacred to the native Hawaiians.
