Please view the 4 min video at the link below of Hawaiian elders being arrested to protect Mauna Kea. And please spread this news of Canadian Astronomers far and wide. Mahalo.

“One of the TMT project’s biggest and long standing supporters, the Canadian Astronomical Association (CASCA), now proclaims:
“Unless the TMT project has consent from the Native Hawaiians, Canada’s astronomical community cannot support its construction on Maunakea…”
when such consent does not exist, the principles should recognize that the use or threat of force is an unacceptable avenue for developing or accessing an astronomical site.”
