A’ole TMT: Environmental Justice and Indigenous Resistance in Hawaiʻi
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Lilli Carlsen’s capstone project provides a human rights centered analysis on the Aʻole TMT movement led by Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) in opposition to the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) on Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain on the big island of Hawaiʻi. Through a multifaceted analysis, Lilli demonstrates how this current struggle touches on a myriad of topics including scientific progress, cultural revitalization, and settler colonialism. Furthermore, she asserts Kanaka Maoli are not protesting TMT, they are protesting the construction of TMT on their sacred mountain and, by doing so, they are continuing a long history of Native Hawaiian resistance to settler colonialism. Lilli hopes to demonstrate the ways in which the A’ole TMT movement connects to the larger Hawaiian sovereignty movement and highlights a unique way that environmental justice can intersect with indigenous rights activism on Hawai’i.
