Here are some key points: methyl mercury poisoning, hydropower methane emissions, missing sources, impact on indigenous peoples causing cultural genocide where the dam reservoirs are located, reporting and monitoring challenges, prioritization of emissions sources, regulatory and policy gaps, indigenous communities' concerns, lack of awareness or acknowledgment. #Perplexity #ChatGPT #AI #OpenSource  Llewelyn Pritchard MA 30 July 2023

I stand in solidarity with Mauna Kea Kia’i. 私はマウナケアのプロテクターと連帯しています。 Me solidarizo con los protectores de Mauna Kea. Sou solidário com os protetores do Mauna Kea. As Shimanchu, the indigenous peoples of the Ryukyu Islands (Amami, Okinawa, Miyako, and Yaeyama), we stand in solidarity with the protectors of Mauna Kea and all who seek to defend their rights as first people in their native land.

Mauna Kea:  Lā 168, Oura Bay: Day 2000

Today - December 27, 2019 - is Lā 168 for the Mauna Kea Kia'i here in Hawai'i & the 2000th day of continuous sit-ins for protectors of Henoko's Oura Bay, back in the Ryukyu islands (what is known today as “Okinawa”) - my place of birth and maternal ancestral homeland. 

To pause and reflect on what this means and the parallels of the histories of these islands and our resilience in the face of both physical and cultural genocide is something I find to be bittersweet... 

Together, we rise!

I created this image as I reflected upon the continuous work being done and sacrifices being made by brave and fiercely loving Kia'i / protectors - day in and out - embracing their ancestral sukubun / kuleana to protect our precious land, water, and all life. It breaks my heart that we must do so; in fact, this was quickly pulled together earlier this week when Kia'i at Mauna Kea were bracing under threat of impending arrests, before the current moratorium was negotiated. And yet, despite the twinge of sorrow in why we must fight for our indigenous rights, for our right to self-determination, and for the protection of our lands and waters, there is so much beauty to see how we still rise and rise! 

This image is a small offering but made with immense gratitude to honor the beautiful way in which Mauna Kea is bringing together kanaka as a nation while simultaneously building transpacific solidarity and ultimately inspiring and uniting people all over the world as we (re)dedicate ourselves to protect all our precious land and water. It has been truly humbling and transformative to stand together with the Lāhui here in O’ahu as well as up on the Mauna and to find ways each day, however small they may be, to support this indigenous led movement. By sharing this image, I am inviting you to do the same. As Norman shinshii so beautifully said, "Although we stand on separate shores, distant valleys, or even separate mountain tops, we are emboldened and ultimately liberated in knowing that we stand together."

Aloha from Amami • Miyako • Okinawa • Yaeyama

The hands you see here are based on a photograph of my own hands with  traditional Ryukyu hajichi, specifically from where my maternal grandfather’s family is from in Shuri, the royal capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The main text in this image is from the solidarity statement Norman Kaneshiro shinshii wrote on behalf of Shimanchu (people of #Okinawan/#Ryukyuan descent) to the Mauna Kea Kia'i.

They want to get busy in order to forget. We should not talk in terms of what they should do, what they should not do, for the sake of the future. We should talk to them in such a way that touches their hearts, that helps them to engage on the path that will bring them true happiness; the path of love and understanding, the courage to let go. When they have tasted a little bit of peace and love, they may wake up. #ThichNhatHanh Landscape of an old coffee farm in Cartama, Antioquia, Colombia.

Kiaikekahaukani: #Lā82 #MaunaKea: #Lā127 This past week/end was a turning point for the kia'i here at Bachman Hall, UH Mānoa. If you're on-island, please come join us tonight (Friday, 4:45-pau) for sunset 'aha and potluck to celebrate as a community!

See Update below, via Kia’i ke Kahaukani:   Aloha mai e nā hoa welo like. Mahalo nui to all of our ʻohana last week who donated their time, presence, and aloha during an emotionally charged situation for students at UH-Mānoa. Prior to this weekend the University locked students behind the glass doors, leaving them unable to join the ‘aha. This past weekend, with your support and assistance, the front doors to Bachman Hall were kept open. The kīpuka of aloha ʻāina here at Bachman was created by and for students to serve all of us impacted by the ongoing violence perpetrated by the University through its involvement in the TMT project. With your continued support we are resolved to keep the doors to healing open so that we can mālama each other and our communities. Na wai lā hoʻi ka ʻole o ke akamai, he alahele i maʻa i ka hele ʻia e oʻu mau kūpuna. Our kūpuna demonstrate daily the ability to hold steadfast in kapu aloha, to heal through community, to unify in pule while facing difficulties of both the environment as well as the occupying government. We will ensure that these doors remain open in order to support each other and the communities that we represent. To celebrate our community at Bachman and this season of change, we invite our ʻohana to join us tomorrow (Friday, 4:45pm-pau) in mele, manaʻo, and meaʻai. Students will provide ʻawa and limited food, potluck item encouraged if can. E nā hoapili e kūpaʻa mau, e holomua aku, e aloha nō kākou.

#Repost @arcane.gaia.warrior ・・・ If you’re looking to unite with nature and sacred water sites throughout southern California, then you’ll want to visit Deep Creek Hot Springs near Apple Valley. • This sacred valley forms endless switchback style trails, mimicking the natural flow of water from the rains and snow melt. I felt the energy to be similar as I could sense a bit of solar plexus nausea as the water inside of me moved from one side of my body to the other on the 2.5 mile hike on actual goat trails along the edges of each cliff. • As I relaxed submerged in the hot waterfalls, I had a vision of all people everywhere learning to appreciate and protect water. • We need to confront our inner resistances and cast a grateful look on creation itself, letting our hearts be touched by its wounded reality and making a strong personal and communal commitment to healing it. • #hotsprings #socal #waterislife #protectthesacred #youarenature #healing #creation #waterspirit #cancerwoman #ageofaquarius #undines #gaiawarrior
