He statesthat Pu‘u Kolekole is a sacred “place of prayer and inner attunement.” “I find thisincredible that this European scientific mindset would want to impose upon asacred landscape what can only be considered in spiritual terms really amonstrosity. This is a place of prayer. It's a place sacred for ceremony. And Ithink at some point, this madness toward building and accumulation and thecarelessness with which this is approached in terms of imposing on thislandscape something that would be not only cultural desecration, but an aestheticand spiritual desecration.”XNoneNoneMr. RizzoMr. Rizzo has accompanied hundreds of school kids on field trips to Haleakalā,“But what I have seen many, many times are just a small group of these childrenthat are very excited and just really in awe of what's going on up there at thedifferent facilities.
