Mauna Kea Struggle: Aloha, Not for Sale

Mauna Kea Struggle: Aloha, Not for SaleThis 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 CollegeLinks:Hawaiin Environmental AllianceHawaiʻi Unity and Liberation InstituteMauna Medic Healers Hui(donate to support the front line)Audio excerpts for this episode have been sourced, with thanks, from Archive.org & Sojourner Truth & Rising Up with Sonali  This week's show is #1210, and was produced by Nicky Stott.
