Aloha Wale Mauna Kea, Aloha Wale Ku'u Poe Hoapili Kia‘i ma ke Anuanu

Abstract

Just after sunset on July 12, 2019, leaders of the Protect Mauna Kea movement held a meeting at Spencer Beach Park on Hawai'i island with Hawaiians and supporters, at least a hundred of us, who had answered their kahea (call). The leaders did not specify the reason behind this kahea, but we imagined that it concerned Mauna Kea. All those present participated in the ritual to protect and guide us before the meeting began. As suspected, it was a call to action.
