I am not Hawaiian 🌺 but Hawaii is in my heart. I lived on Kauai, I visit 4x a year for weeks at a time. I will buy a home and die there one day. I love the land, the culture and the people.

I am of Native American/ Mexican decent and understand all too well what it is to watch your sacred lands destroyed for big business, seeing your people put in cages and fighting to keep what little you have left of your heritage alive.

Hawaii needs your help and your voice right now. For those that aren’t aware of what’s going on, the government is attempting to build a 30 meter nuclear powered telescope for scientific purposes on the tallest mountain in the world (below sea level) which happens to be on the Big Island of Hawai’i. It’s a 1.4 billion dollar project and by doing so, not only will it cause harm to the mountain but it will destroy the most sacred place to the native Hawaiian people. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened and the people of the island are fighting for what’s theirs. They have created a non-violent and peaceful protest by locking arms and using their positive energy to #ProtectMaunaKea.

Photos of these Kūpuna (elders) in front of the line fighting and being arrested by their own people for standing up is completely devastating and brings me to tears.

I hope this post can help spread awareness to those that may not know what’s going on and to encourage others to post on their social your voice is power and this desecration will affect you and the whole world. You don’t need to be Hawaiian to care you just need a heart to stand up for what’s right!

I’m sending my love to those that are fighting. The island is very much alive and everyones aloha is felt from each photo and video that is posted. To each and every person fighting for Mauna Kea near or far, you’re showing what it means to STAND with ALOHA. KŪ KIA’I MAUNA!!! ❤️
