Ms. Prevost: Aloha. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Aloha. <br /> Ms. Prevost: My name is Michele Prevost and I oppose this petition. Well, you <br /> do not own the access road because of unpaid debt. You can hear <br /> me right? <br /> Mr. Robinson: Right. It's fine. <br /> Ms. Prevost: You do not own the road because of unpaid debt on the road for 30 <br /> years. And did you get permission from the Hawaiian <br /> beneficiaries who own the land to even build this road? And then, <br /> you arrest the Hawaiians that are on Hawaiian Home Lands who <br /> are only protecting their Mauna. Wow. Why do you not listen to <br /> Hawaiian's, the protectors?

And the highest law of the land is the <br /> Constitution. And the Constitution specifies a separation between <br /> church and State. The church cannot tell the State what to do. The <br /> State cannot tell the church what do. Okay. Now we have this <br /> situation on Mauna Kea where a certain...what we call religion. <br /> The Hawaiian kahuna religion okay. Is telling the State that they <br /> cannot go ahead and build a building which is already past 10 <br /> years of lawsuits. All kinds of EIS hurdles and everything <br /> else...because of their religion. Okay now, let's talk about the <br /> Hawaiian religion for a minute. Hawai'i was first invaded not by <br /> Europeans, Hawaii was invaded by the Tahitians. And when the <br /> Tahitians invaded Hawaii, they brought their false religion with <br /> 14 <br />
