How Mauna Kea Should Remain Cultural And Not Allow Project Tmt

Canyonlands National Park, immense amounts of wilderness and rock, is located at the heart of the Colorado Plateau (Canyonlands National Park-Geology). Millions of years have formed specific features to the rock and surrounding wilderness that make it so special. Throughout the park, you will find that the sedimentary rock has formed many features such as hundreds of colorful canyons, mesas, buttes, fins, arches, and spires. The Green and Colorado rivers have played a major role in the formation of many of these features. These rivers cut through the park forming two massive canyons. This further splits the park into three distinct zones. “Island in the Sky” sits to the north while “The Maze” sits off to the west and “The Needles” to the

When I arrived at the destination of the hearing, many kanakas were circling the building to represent how they are against the idea of the TMT and especially its location. The first and foremost argument was: Mauna Kea is most sacred site in Hawaii tradition and culture. Of the four major islands in the Hawaiian group, tradition states that the highest and most sacred places were located on Maun Wai’ale’ale on Kaua’i; Mauna Ka’ala on Oahu; Mauna Haleakala on Maui; and Mauna Kea on Hawaii. However, because Mauna Kea was the tallest and the highest point throughout Pacific Polynesia, it was considered the most sacred of all. It stood tall over the island of Hawaii and was used to host early Hawaiian traditions such as religion practices, study of the heavens, tool making, meditation source and many more.

The film created a connection of the people living in Barrio Logan showing the life before and after to the changes they had to go through. It was just a humble town that had all the resources the needed to feel safe. Before there was a border people would come as they pleased and enjoy their time the beautiful land to visit the community where everyone knew each other. Then the border created the first separation of the land they used to travel across so easily. Which ripped a part of the place they once knew. After time, many people left as the highway was built right on top of where their homes were built.

This paper will provide information on the volcanoes of Hawaii, where it is known to be the home of one of the world’s largest volcanic islands, merely second to Iceland. It is not just the beautiful landscapes and wildlife that spark the interest to this particular area, but the uniqueness of the Hawaiian volcanoes and islands themselves are what make the area so significant. There will be information spanning from the history of the origin of the islands to how Hawaii must adjust to the volcanic hazards in order to keep the area livable. With these ideas in mind, I will first address background information on the area and set the scene as to what makes this area so special. Then I will transition to the history of how the

Morialta Conservation Park is a protected area located in South Australia, Australia. The park covers an area of 533 hectares. It is set in a bush environment with several hikes to walk. It has a narrow gorge, consisting of three waterfalls.

In recent years, ancient burial grounds have been frequently disturbed due to increasing surveillance by anthropologists and constructed on by state-of-the-art technology and are more critically protected than ever before. Understanding the importance of burial grounds gives an insight on the rich history of ancient Hawaii. They have influenced the burials performed, ancestors and their modern inhabitants, and how they have impacted modern Hawaii. Burial methods will range from the tallest peaks on land to burying those in the ocean. Ancestors influence these methods depending on their rank and actions, having their modern descendants have a choice to inherit these arrangements and protect their ancestors.

Today I arrived at Haleakala National Park to visit for two days. This island is located on the east side of Maui, Haleakala is 33,233 acres. Haleakala means, “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian. Every year Haleakala has over 1.4 million visitors. This year I am one of the lucky visitors to explore this National Park. Made up of a volcano, mountains and beaches this is going to be an adventure so I’m keeping a journal about my adventure at Haleakala National Park. The park is divided into two areas, the summit and coastal Kipahulu area. I will journal about the elevation of the summit and the coastal area Kipahulu.

The subject of analysis in this paper will be the CEQA Project named Murai Specific Plan Project. It has been applied for by ColRich, a San Diego based home developer (“Generations”), to its lead agency, the City of San Marcos. In this paper I will evaluate some of the findings of potential significant environmental effects listed in the initial study, explain why these might have a significant effect, compare them with other projects to reflect on whether these are indeed significant as well as discuss mitigation measures. First, I will give a description of the location of the project followed by a description of the proposed project. I will continue by describing some findings of the initial study.

April 30, 1971, Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa proposed plans to create the idea of Hydro-Quebec. This would be a state-run electric company, taking a hydro-electric strategy that would dam many Northern Quebec rivers and in turn open the opportunity for thousands of jobs. It would also open the opportunity for Quebec to get a new trade base for Quebec to surplus power for export and would attract investment in exposed industries.

The overthrow of 1893 was followed by the Reciprocity Treaty and groups of people such as the Hawaiian League, The Annexation Club, and The Committee of Public Safety tried to take Queen Lili’uokalani off of her throne. Their plan worked and the Queen surrendered her throne to the United States of America. In 1895, the Queen was imprisoned at ‘Iolani Palace and she also wrote multiple songs in the eight months that she was there. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom led to Hawaii being annexed to the United States. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified because Minister Stevens ordered American troops to go to Iolani Palace to help the Committee of Public Safety and the Committee of Public Safety’s goal was to overthrow the Queen and set up a provisional government.

The sacred places of Hawaii have religious, historical and cultural significance. They have seen the births of numerous kings and have been the sites of many events throughout the island's history. Many sacred sites include shrines or temples (heiau), petroglyphs (ki'i pohaku), stacked stone (pohaku) and other historical remains. One such site is the Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site in Hawaii.

The yuma project was first authorized in May 10,1904 and was the first irrigation project in Yuma. Thanks to the Yuma project many farms got water and the farms were finally able to produce goods. Once the project was done many people found out that Yuma had water and it was able to be transported to the farms, the population started to increase, but it didn't only just increased, it also decreased by a little, but later on population started to expand once more. Developers also faced many challenges, it wasn't easy for the developers to assemble the project. Something that was also a bit of a problem to them was the cost of building, repairing, and paying the workers when the project was being generated. The challenges that they had to face were not that simple.

Shannon Hall wrote Hawaii’s Telescope Controversy Is the Latest in a Long History of Land-Ownership Battles to highlight the ethics issue surrounding the use of a sacred location to further science. The bases of this ethics issue begins in the 1950-1970, when the pursuit of the Moon, technology and science trumped nearly all other concerns. During this time period allocations of property were leased to astronomers in areas where locals had very little say. This occurred on the peak of the largest mountain in the world, Mauna Kea. This mountain starts at the bottom of the ocean floor and rises a staggering 33,500 ft, nearly a mile taller than Mt.Everest. The peak of the mountain is a prime location for the most advanced telescopes in the world.

I can remember while living in Hawaii many times when a burial ground or sacred site was destroyed or moved to make way for the development of a new highway or resort. Many of my relatives who are Native Hawaiians have told me stories of how cultural and historic sites, hundred in number, have been bulldozed to make way for hotel and golf course development. Many others have been turned into tourist attractions and are desecrated in their use and misuse. These include heiau (burial grounds) or ancient temples, house sites, fishing shrines, ceremonial platforms and agricultural sites.

Mount Tambora is classified as a stratovolcano in Sumbawa, Indonesia. A stratovolcano is a cone-shaped volcano built up of many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash. As a matter of fact, the volcano’s elevation is 9350’ and the volume is 160 cubic kilometers. Not to mention, Mount Tambora lies on the coordinates of 8.2479° S, 117.9911° E. The diameter of the volcano is about 38 miles.
