MAUNA KEA UPDATE
































Aloha `āina kākou,
 

On Thursday, Dec 19th, state law enforcement officers ordered kia`i to clear the road by December 26th or face mass arrests. 

While the deadline to clear the road is December 26th, we do not believe that law enforcement will attempt to sweep kūpuna and ki`i on this day, but we must remain vigilant and prepared. 

We are putting out a kāhea to all Hawai`i Island kia`i, to spend the holiday on the Mauna with the kūpuna and be prepared to kūpa`a, stand with us, should state enforcement officers arrive on the 26th. 

For all other kia`i, on neighbor islands and beyond, we ask that you be on standby for a kāhea. To all who come, be prepared for extreme weather and cold nights.

The road to the summit of Maunakea is currently open to the public via the side gravel road alongside the kupuna tent. Please drive carefully and slowly.

It is our wish that all kūpuna, all kia`i, state enforcement officers and administrators, and all the people of Hawai`i enjoy a peaceful holiday in the warmth and aloha of friends and loved ones. 

Hau`oli Ao Polohiwa a Kanaloa, Lonoikamakahiki and see you on the Mauna!
