Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HALEA 2 Scoping Meetings and Section 106 TestimonyAgency/IndividualSummary of View and Cultural ConcernsNoActionMitigationSuggestionsForATSTNotStatedMitigationCommentswe can say this now in this day and time because, well, your predecessors, yourancestors wen' shut our people up. And the only reason why America is here isbecause of the military.” “...We no need you guys. One house costs $800,000.00over here. You think we worried about what the sun is doing? ...I really don't seewhat impact, positive or negative, this development will eventually do to our socialwell-being. But, right now, I mean, already get stuff up there and that never donothing for us anyway. And, in fact, instead of adding stuff on, we should be takingstuff off. And, well, frankly, just you guys should just go back to where you comefrom and stay there.”Mr. AlbertNapahiDizon“I'm a sixth generation. Any time somebody poke a hole in the aina, I cry. Everytime when they try to build, whether it's for water and now another telescope, ithurts me inside because I am of this land. I am kanaka maoli. I'm born of this land.And to build something up there where only the Gods live, we Hawaiians knowwhen the Gods out there, yeah, we know it's only for the Gods, not to put anothertelescope.” “‘A‘ole, which means no. I'm against, I'm opposed of this because there'salways recognition for astronomers who went to school. There's no respect for thekupuna who has the gifts.” “...You damaging Hawaii nei by building more of thesethings. And it's not for us...Ke akua, there's a triangle that we go by. Ke akua, ohana,aina.”XNoneNoneMr. BillKauakeaMedeirosMr. Medeiros stated that he is from Ke‘anae, Hana. He expressed his frustrationabout the section 106 meetings being scheduled on the same weekend as the countyfair, “the largest annual event on Maui.” “We were taught by our kupuna to respectour ‘āina, our sacred places where there was kapu, and to respect the kuleana thatwe carry. We were also taught to protect and be good stewards of the ‘āina, of theland. I ask you, as you consider this project, that you need to respect the Hawaiianpeople and the culture of these islands. We as Hawaiians plan for seven generationsso that we can leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren seven generationsdown the road. We were taught by our kupuna to also keep our ‘āina, our land, asnatural and undisturbed as possible. Hawaiians were great astronomers,environmentalist and conservationists.” “...I would say that for the proponents ofthis project that say that there's nothing connected to a defense system, I would saythat even if it was, you would not know that or you would not be an authority todisclose that information.” “So what I say is respect the voices of the Hawaiianpeople, our ancestors and our ‘‘aumakua [sic], and I join with the rest of them as Isay that I oppose this project.”XNoneNoneAPPENDIX F (2): Supplemental Cultural Impact Assessment For the Proposed AdvancedTechnology Solar Telescope (ATST) at Haleakalā High Altitude ObservatoriesTMK (2) 2-2-07:00861
Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HALEA 2 Scoping Meetings and Section 106 TestimonyAgency/IndividualSummary of View and Cultural ConcernsNoActionMitigationSuggestionsForATSTNotStatedMitigationCommentsMr. DanSytzeMr. Sytze is concerned that the EIS does not accurately address the issue ofenvironmental justice. “And when it comes to the environment in Hawaiianthinking-I'm obviously Caucasian, so all I can do is tell you what I have learnedfrom my Hawaiian friends and my teacher and the kupunas and the older people ofHawaii. Aloha aina is -- that's like part of the religion. That's part of the spirituality.It's love of the land, caring for the land...And we have a mountain here that isrevered. It's known throughout Polynesian and considered sacred throughoutPolynesia from all over.” Mr. Sytze also stated his concerns about ATST potentiallybeing used for the military purposes, “...if this is a military operation up here, I'm nottaking a stand for or against what you are proposing doing...or against what ishappening up there right now, but I'm just saying that if that is a military --especially an offensive military type of operation up there, that there's going to benuclear weapons targeted at it, and that should be taken into account in theenvironmental impact statement.”None X NoneMr. DonKanahele“…I don't feel comfortable about the selection of Haleakalā because of theimportance of that mountain as well as other mountains here in the Hawaiian islandshave to the people that live here. Not only to the Hawaiians by blood but theHawaiians at heart. So for us this is something that is disconcerting. It's veryserious.” “Maui is a popular place for many, many reasons and to many, manypeople. And the impact of that popularity is felt in many areas by those who livehere. There's a tremendous impact and, I guess, from my perspective I'm concernedabout the cultural impact by those who live here and those who have been connectedto these islands for many, many generations.” “...I do, at this time, oppose thebuilding of any telescope on Haleakalā.”XNoneNoneAPPENDIX F (2): Supplemental Cultural Impact Assessment For the Proposed AdvancedTechnology Solar Telescope (ATST) at Haleakalā High Altitude ObservatoriesTMK (2) 2-2-07:00862
