Kūkulu and The Occupation of Bachman Hall

Aloha mai kākou, These profound accounts will link us to past events and experiences, connect us to the present and activate us for the future. Please listen and share widely. MKEA asks if you could go to @mkea.info bio and sign the No Construction Petition as an action for the protection of Mauna Kea. Mahalo. Repost from @hawaiipeoplesfund

In this two-episode special, we hear from five students active in the 2019 mobilization to protect Mauna Kea from the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope. Part 2: "The Occupation of Bachman Hall" shares the experiences of students who occupied the Board of Regents' office building on the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa campus during the fall 2019 semester. Their 117-day sit-in was the longest in UH history.⁠

These stories were recorded in conjunction with the Kūkulu Exhibit "Hoʻomana" brought to the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa through a partnership between HPF grantee Mauna Kea Education & Awareness (@mkea.info) and KTUH.⁠

Student voices (in order of appearance): Beau Shishido, Anuhea Tavares, Kāhili Liu-Hanohano, and ʻIhilani Lasconia.⁠
