Lede topic: “Muana Kea vs. the TMT”

Native Hawaiians are protesting against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope. The construction was underway but is currently at a halt. The government wants to build the TMT on Mauna Kea, which is a mountain on the Big Island, Hawaii. The government currently delayed the construction of the TMT because native Hawaiians arose to protect to save the land. The protesters say that Mauna Kea’s land is “sacred” and that the land is the land of their ancestors. Now the government says this is a conflict between science versus sacred.
