Mauna Kea Struggle: Aloha, Not for Sale

This week on Earth Matters we hear from Kanaka Maoli activists involved in the ongoing resistance struggle and protest blockade against the construction of a giant telescope development on Mauna Kea, which is a dormant volcano on the Island of Hawaii that is also a sacred site of deep significance to the Indigenous Kanaka Maoli people.

And also, why this particular struggle has engaged so profoundly with the global Indigenous resistance network.

Guests: Kealoha Pisciotta: Mauna Kea Anaina Hou; Kalamaoka'aina Niheu MD: Mauna Medic Healers Hui; Iokepa Casumbal-Salazar: Ithaca College
