To celebrate Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea, I want to lift up voices of ea.

A year ago, @smwiebe & I wrote a piece on states of emergency & emergence in the struggle to protect Maunakea from @TMTHawaii. That turned into this beautiful polyphonic series with @AbolitionJ.
abolitionjournal.org/category/learn… W/o a single cloud floating in the Maunakea sky, kiai assembled on the morning of July 17 2019 at Maunakea Access Road to stop construction of TMT. Resolve to protect Maunakea from TMT was as clear as the skies above—no telescope was necessary to see this.

1/ A disgusting banner: “everyone can vote OHA.” Across from Castle Hospital in Kailua, it signals how non-Kanaka Maoli can now vote in elections for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, an agency for the betterment of Kānaka Maoli. This sign celebrates colonial racism in Hawaiʻi. 2/ OHA was established in 1978 through the State of Hawaii’s constitutional convention. After pressure from Hawaiian sovereignty activists, OHA was created as a state agency to fulfill one condition of the 1959 Admissions Act, which is to better conditions for Kānaka Maoli.
