Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HALEA 2 Scoping Meetings and Section 106 TestimonyAgency/IndividualSummary of View and Cultural ConcernsNoActionMitigationSuggestionsFor<strong>ATST</strong>NotStatedMitigationCommentsMs.BriannaWelker“…What I have to say tonight is not for a permanent record. It's for you four whoare sitting in front of us today. Because there is a huge thing that's lost in translationon paper. And that's the passion of everyone who stands before you. We're not goingto be able to take that home on paper. You are the only people that are going to takethat home.” “So I challenge you to look at me not with furrowed brows but reallylook at me. Not me personally. Everyone who is here now. Everyone who talkedhere tonight. And understand where they are coming from. Not hear where they arecoming from, but try to feel it. Try to think of something that makes you half aspassionate as all the people in this room. ... I am not kanaka maoli, but I was bornhere. This is my home. I can feel it up there. So the very last thing that I wouldchallenge you to do is go to Haleakalā. Don't go to the site of your telescope. Go tothe mountain that these people are talking about. I don't care how long you are herefor. Find the time for it. And maybe, just maybe, you'll begin to understand whatthese people are talking about.”None X NoneMs.KamaileKekahuaMs. Kekahua makes the statement “…for the life of me I cannot understand how it isthat Pele is for education in a way where she would allow and want for a structurethat is 15 stories tall to be built right on top of what exactly she is.” “…A lot oftimes scientists that have come to Hawaii have tried to play exactly that role as agod, to dictate the ways that we do things instead of learning exactly from thatancient wisdom that was here prior to any kind of impact to Hawaii. Scientists havebrought their foreign concepts here, some have worked, a lot hasn't. ... As it wasearlier mentioned, is it for us? Because it is not for us. It is not for the Hawaiianpeople. ... And I just have to end too with saying I resist, I resist for my generation, Iresist for my son's generation, and I resist as a keiki.”XNoneNoneAPPENDIX F (2): Supplemental Cultural Impact Assessment For the Proposed AdvancedTechnology Solar Telescope (<strong>ATST</strong>) at Haleakalā High Altitude ObservatoriesTMK (2) 2-2-07:00866
