Telescope Fight in Hawaii

The recent protests against the Dakota Access Pipe Line (DAPL) by Native Americans brought the idea of sacred ground into the news. In October, a similar dispute arose between scientists who wanted to put a new telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii and natives set against the construction (an 18 story observatory) on the basis of "sacred grounds."

The conflict between native superstitions and the DAPL saw support from both environmentalists and ant-corporatists. In Hawaii however, the argument pits native concerns against scientific research.

Will superstitions once again win?
