Mauna Kea Hui

Mauna Kea Hui is a community organization dedicated to addressing the cultural, environmental, and scientific issues associated with Mauna Kea, a sacred mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii. The Hui seeks to advocate for respectful stewardship of the mountain, ensure that indigenous Hawaiian perspectives are honored, and promote sustainable use of its resources. They often engage in education, advocacy, and dialogue to balance scientific interests—such as telescope development—with cultural preservation and environmental protection, fostering mutual understanding and responsible management of this culturally and ecologically significant site.
