Summary:

This is a dialogue that was submitted by Kealoha Pisciotta, a Native Hawaiian who wrote this document in her capacity as the President of the Native Hawaiian organization entitled Mauna Kea Anaina Hou and on behalf of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I, Ilioulaokalani Coalition, and KAHEA -- The Native Hawaiian-Environmental Alliance and Na Koa Ikaika o Ka Lahui Hawaii. In this document, the author writes in an effort to share their story of how their Sacred Mountain, Mauna Kea, "continues to be occupied, desecrated, and destroyed by some of the richest and largest nations in the world, in violation of international law, traditional and customary rights and U.S. domestic laws meant to protect human, civil, and cultural rights and the delicate environment."
