SUMMARY:Protecting Mauna Kea: Standing Above the Clouds
DESCRIPTION:We warmly invite you to join us for our remaining special series events (May 5 and May 6) on the long struggle of Native Hawaiian people and other kia‘i (“protectors”) in protecting Mauna Kea. One of the most sacred Native Hawaiian sites\, Mauna Kea is the piko (umbilical cord) connecting the islands to the heavens\, the dwelling place of deities\, and a place of worship. This sacred landscape faces ongoing expropriation for the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT)—a project in which UC Santa Cruz is profoundly implicated. \nWednesday\, May 6\, 4-8 pm at College 9/JRL Multipurpose Rm.: Standing Above the Clouds \nA public screening of a documentary film that focuses on mothers and daughters from three Native Hawaiian families that have dedicated their lives to protecting Mauna Kea from destruction. A Q & A with visiting Mauna Kea Protectors will be facilitated by Kanaka Maoli/Native Hawaiian professors\, Drs. Iokepa Casumbal-Salazar and Nicole Furtado. Food will be served\, including vegan options. \n \nRegistration for the following events is recommended but not required. On-site registration is also possible. All events are free and open to the public. \nThe series features visiting Mauna Kea protectors from Hilo\, Hawai‘i: Hāwane Rios\, an award-winning singer\, songwriter and a celebrated haku mele (song and chant composer); Hopoelehua Pa’a Makakau\, a Kanaka ‘Ōiwi cultural bearer\, aloha ‘āina (land protector)\, hula practitioner\, and skilled multi-disciplinary hana no’eau (cultural) artist.
