Wow. Intense but oh so informational hearing. Gunther Hasinger's testimony was a refreshing change from the not knowing a thing to someone that is knowledgeable and HONEST.
To say his testimony is astronomy "biased" would be true and to watch him light up while talking about it then you see his facial expressions change when asked about "some" native Hawaiians believe Mauna Kea is Sacred shows me that he does feel what astronomy is doing in the TMT might affect Hawaiians. However he still feels all the positives out weight the negatives.
Mauna Kea ʻOhana, I am asking you to support this Kapu Aloha filled manaʻo and pray with all that you have within you for our relatives and our ʻohana there at Standing Rock, please.
Sharing the message from my nephew which I support with all of my heart aligned to Mauna Kea...this is the only way, our prayers and our songs, the heartbeat of the buffalo will lead you...they come to strengthen you, the sign that the ancestors are with you. we are with you.. me ke aloha nui, Pua Case
Idle No More Hawaiʻi Warriors Rising, Idle No More Mauna Kea.

UH witness Dr. Gunther Hasinger stated he strongly believes it is not only possible for astronomy and native practitioners to coexist but that “It’s necessary to coexist.”
Sending a big shout out to our Mana Wahine, Chandell Asuncion. Every day this week she makes us a healthy breakfast of overnight oats and fruits, she makes sure a table is set up during the hearing for healthy snacks and coffee that we can go to and grab whenever we need, makes sure our lunches are coordinated for the day, helps set up these lunches, then cleans them up and breaks them down, and then zip locks the food at the end of the day to send home with Ohana. We could not make it thru these long days without people like Chandell!! You are so appreciated, tita, and we love you!!
