- The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze the Mauna Kea Science Reserve Master Plan, that was prepared for the University of Hawaii by Group 70 International, Inc., by applying the methodology and analysis techniques used in Brude WillemsBraun's paper entitled, "Buried Epistemologies: The Politics of Nature in (Post) colonial British Columbia.
The author gives a background of Western culture's legacy of colonialism and how a result of this is the nearly complete dispossession of Hawaiian control and ownership of land. He also gives a breakdown of the Mauna Kea Master Plan and gives a description of buried epistemologies.
