Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HALEA 2 Scoping Meetings and Section 106 TestimonyAgency/IndividualSummary of View and Cultural ConcernsNoActionMitigationSuggestionsForATSTNotStatedMitigationCommentsMr. FosterAmpongMr.HaumeaHanakahiMr. Ampong introduces himself and explains that he is “…born and raised andpresently residing on the island of Maui. Normally I would just speak from myna‘au, from my gut, because that's the way we speak the truth.” Mr. Ampong alsostates his concerns about the proper disposal of waste and hazardous materials, “...Iwould like to be reassured with specifics. When you say properly contained anddisposed of by private contractor, where exactly -- what is it contained in? Is it a 55-gallon barrel? Is this going to be trucked down to Kahului, put on a barge, andremoved from the state? Is it going to be trucked down two miles from the summitand stored -- I think what we want to hear is the specific, something definitive aboutthe hazardous material, how it's going to be removed, and where its going to bemoved to.” He continues, “...we need some honest, sincere, definitive explanationsin the DEIS, period, before you go any further.” Mr. Ampong notes that 15 speakershave been against ATST and that amounts to 99% of those who spoke out.Ms. Hanakahi explains that she is from the Island of Hawai‘i but now resides onMaui. “The first thing that we found on the big island, many of us, is that we have tobegin with a pule. The pule is filled with respect, and it's remembering that themaunas are not ours. That's not the ground of mankind. The maunas are the realm ofakua. And so as we give that back to akua in recognition and acknowledgement,then that changes everything, and it gives it to akua to decide what is right and whatwill happen.” “...And to arrogantly go and build upon a land that has always beenconsidered sacred is a desecration. Period. Hawaiians have always held education asa noble endeavor, and this is not about astronomy. This is a land use issue.”“Hawai‘i is tired of hearing about astronomers behaving badly, whether it's onMauna Kea or Haleakalā. So I open this in the hopes that truly we can make thiskākou and inclusive. Make it something that we truly can reach out to each other'shearts about because truly we don't want to stop education, stop exploration.Polynesians were exploring these vast oceans by the same science of which youdesecrate our mountain with.” Ms. Hanakahi raises strong concerns about mercurybeing used for ATST as it was on Mauna Kea.None X NoneNoneXNeed morecomprehensive mitigationplansAPPENDIX F (2): Supplemental Cultural Impact Assessment For the Proposed AdvancedTechnology Solar Telescope (ATST) at Haleakalā High Altitude ObservatoriesTMK (2) 2-2-07:00863

I'm from Lahaina. I might be on the west side…but Istill get something for say.” Mr. Kapu continues, “…what if the thing get passed?What, next two years after that going have one other one coming up, one other onecoming up just like Mauna Kea? Get four of five of them over there. No need one. Ino like drive around Maui looking at Haleakalā and all you see is this big white ball.Come on now. I been on big island, I seen Mauna Kea, and it's like I just like brokethat. I no care about this.” “Right now this is not pono.” Mr. Kapu also states hisconcern about mercury contamination.XNoneNoneMr.KaleikoaKaeo“…A fool is anyone who disrespects, doesn’t listen, doesn't adhere to what I havesaid many time before. So if I come here and I sound angry, I am. …This is part of alarge major campaign which have been perpetrated on my people for generations.Other native peoples have been pissed on and shit on across the islands, across thePacific, across north America, across the world since the time of that great supposedEuropean explorer Columbus. Looking for gold, god and glory, who cut off thehands of the native, who sicked his maddening dogs on the women and children forthe sake of science.” “That's your history. That's the history of our peoples that wehave had to endure, and we still endure. But the good news is we still resist.”“There is no -- I challenge NSF do one title insurance deed, find out how does theState of Hawaii through executive order -- they don't have title to the land. That'swhat the DLNR manages as part of -- they have no title to those lands. So they haveunlawful control of these lands.” “What the NSF is funding right now is exactly thecontinuation of this kind of mentality that somehow the haole world had some kindof right to what is not theirs because their science says so. ... If you got the title, putyour paper down and I will walk away forever. I won't challenge it.” “Our peoplewill fight. ...If it means civil disobedience, that's what it's going to take.”XNoneNoneMr. KeahiBustamente“As a Hawaiian, I believe that I came from the stuff that that mountain came from.The creatures, the koa, the ‘ōhi‘a, the weke‘ ula I came from that.” “I would like allof you to know that on behalf of Na Kupuna o Maui, Patty Nishiyama, who couldn'tmake it today, have also submit written comments...we oppose the construction ofbuilding development of the ATST on Haleakalā.” “I feel that this proposed projectwill exasperate (sic) adverse effects presently plaguing our community and theenvironment socially, culturally, and at the very core of our existence, spiritually.”XNoneNoneAPPENDIX F (2): Supplemental Cultural Impact Assessment For the Proposed AdvancedTechnology Solar Telescope (ATST) at Haleakalā High Altitude ObservatoriesTMK (2) 2-2-07:00864
