In addition to the traditional events taking place on Mauna Kea, the most serious issue was the fact that families still lived close to it and used it as a

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

There are three schools students may have an interest in, these colleges are: Cal Poly Pomona, San Diego State University, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The information a student could research are graduation rate, admission rate, jobs out of school, curriculum, greek life, and the student to faculty rate. With the curriculum set at each university, many courses are offered to potential students. After one earns a degree, based on a specific curriculum, schools try to help one student get a job once that pupil have graduated. In the upcoming paragraphs one student could participate on campus: the fun in engaging in greek life, or how in class, the student to faculty ratio may affect a student 's learning. By gathering information

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.

Meridian has been manufacturing fine telescopes for 80 years and has developed a well-earned reputation for quality craftsmanship. The company itself produces and sells two distinct lines of telescopes, which are produced in its 200,000 square feet facility. Furthermore, both lines have been developed to appeal to distinct target audiences who have an interest in the company’s products. The older line, for which there has been steady demand, consists of small professional telescopes that ultimately have laid the foundation for Meridian’s strong reputation. Following the success of

The legend of Hi’iaka and Pele is a story of betrayal, jealousy and revenge. But also an explanation of the powerful effect of love and how it has no limitation. This myth also connects to the Reeves and Leslie family from their Hawaiian ethnic origin. The family comes from the Royal bloodline of Kauikeaouli or Kamehameha The Third. In their belief, the main Hawaiian spiritual protector is the Goddess Pelehonuamea (the fire Goddess) and they ask her for many different qualities to perpetuate their homeland and to keep the Big island healthy. This Goddess is also the one responsible to forming more of the early Hawaii island, helps push away storms and grant the local people the aspects of life that they surely need. Also, one of the family

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.

Among the great islands of Hawaii there was prophecy foretold by one of the highest ranking Kapunas. This Kapuna stated that when a comet lights the hawaiian sky, that year a baby boy would be born, and this baby would be the one to move the great Naha stone that sat on the hilo side of the big island, and he would be the killer of kings and finally unite the Hawaiian island chain under one throne. Thus the year Halley’s comet made an appearance over the Hawaiian islands in the year 1758 a boy named Kamehameha was born on the big island whose named translated as “the lonely one”.

Historical Information. Hawaiians, otherwise known as Native Hawaiians, are descendent of the Polynesians ethnic group and the indigenous people of the Hawaiian Islands. The Polynesians that traveled from the Marquesas Islands began populating the South Pacific islands as far back as 1100 BCE (Winters and Schwartz 318). Pre-Haole, or Pre-Colonial, Hawaiian culture and society revolved around the land, sea and community (Trask 4). The Hawaiian culture formed within a social structure that driven by the reciprocity between the physical and spiritual elements of family and the ‘ohana (family) bonded by ‘aloha (Trask 4). The ‘ohana is a concept that places emphasis on families are bound together and members must cooperate, respect and remember one another, this concept is the

Construction is expected to resume on the $1.4 billion Thirty Meter Telescope in Honolulu. The Board of Land and Natural Resources voted to impose an emergency rule to keep protesters from interfering with the project. Campers were already being turned away, but now no one can be within a mile of the mountain's access road during certain nighttime hours, unless they're in a moving vehicle.

United Education Institute(UEI) College is a private institution that has campus locations across California. In addition to their California campuses, UEI has a campus in Texas, Georgia and Arizona. With the motto “We put U First,” UEI commits to the success of each and every student from enrollment to graduation and beyond.

The Thirty Meter Telescope project “TMT” has become a big controversy here in Hawaiʻi. It is based upon a thirty meter astronomical observatory that would be built on the south summit of Maunakea. The observatory will be 217 feet long and dome height of 180 feet, you could compare that to an eighteen story building. The total area that will be used to build the observatory is an acre and a half from five acres total. In the year 2010 there were three proposals for a new telescope to be developed on the summit, it was stated that it will be sixty times greater and better than the already built and fully functional 13 telescopes on the summit.

The sacredness of Mauna Kea goes beyond culture, religion, and spiritual it claims to be the center of the entire Pacific Chain. The mountain Maunakea reminds the Hawaiian people of their ancestors and the connections they have to mother earth. The expression and experience of Aloha Aina is to love all individual,

The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is being worked on to become the most advance and powerful optical telescope on Earth by a team of scientists, engineers and specialists. After long controversy, its planned location will be in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The TMT is a reflecting telescope because it uses a mirrors over lenses. “TMT, with its 30-meter (nearly 100 foot) diameter mirror, will have nine times the light gathering power of today’s best telescopes (Gateway, 2010). TMT’s smaller parts, which are less than two meters across, can be created, handled and replaced a whole lot easier. The telescope will be designed to observe from near-ultraviolet to mid-infrared, in addition to having an adaptive optics system. That system will help fix any image blur
