Members Of Mauna Kea Working Group Announced

1:58 House Resolution 33 created the working group, as a result of an independent report s findings criticizing the University of Hawaiʻi, the leaseholder of the mountain. The report was critical of UH for not adequately reaching out to the Native Hawaiian community for its oversight of Mauna Kea. It also acknowledged Mauna Kea is one of the best managed and protected lands in the state. The university responded to the report, saying it recognizes the report s criticisms and it is reviewing and taking steps to improve its engagement with the Native Hawaiian community. The working group is comprised of state lawmakers, representatives from the public and private sector, and those nominated by Native Hawaiian groups and organizations. Saiki says 58 people were nominated for seven spots to represent the interests of Native Hawaiians.
