Manaʻo by Pua Case 1/12/21

On 7/19/15, I wrote a private message to Wendsler Nosie, as I watched the events and their efforts concerning their tribal ceremonial lands and Apache stronghold, Oak Flat, take place on fb.

Facebook message:

Aloha Wendsler Nosie, my family just watched the segment on Democracy Now featuring you and your granddaughter. We are standing for Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaiʻi for our sacred mountain and from my ʻohana, my family we extend to you and your people our support and prayers I will pray for you from the mountain, highest in the world from the sea floor...we are all in this together. me ke aloha. Pua Case

We have just reached Washington and thank you for your support and prayers

Wendsler sent July 19, 2015

Please know we also support you and will continue to pray

A year later he and his wife arrived in Hawaiʻi and prayed with us on Mauna Kea. Since then warriors and protectors from Oak Flat have prayed, sang and danced on the mauna as well as from their homelands. Now Wendsler, his people and supporters call out to the world for help. Please pray for them, please send them Aloha and strength. Mauna Kea ʻohana, we know what this feels like across the pae ʻāina, they have stood with us, let us stand with them now.
