Below is my written tesstimony.  Mahalo. Jim Albertini

Aloha UH President David Lassner and Board of Regent members,

Below is a short  statement on why Mauna Kea is so sacred to Hawaiians by Kealoha Pisciotta.  I stand in solidarity with Kealoha and other Native Hawaiian

cultural practitioners.

I stand in opposition to the latest proposed  UH Management rules for Mauna Kea. 

Rules for managing Hawaii’s most sacred temple, Mauna Kea, should be made by Kanaka Maoli/Native Hawaiian Cultural practitioners,

not the University Board of Regents and State of Hawaii officials. 

President Lassner and Board of Regents — Get back to doing the work of education and stop desecrating Hawaii’s most sacred temple. You have done enough damage.

Mahalo and aloha,

Jim Albertini
