Ohana Kilo Hoku: Hawaiian Culture Based Astronomy Outreach
Tyler Trent
University of Maryland
Astronomy in Hawaii has become highly controversial in recent years, with construction of new telescopes on Mauna Kea drawing large protests from the local communities, especially Native Hawaiians. As someone who was born and raised on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, and has Native Hawaiian ancestry, I share my perspective on the conflict and present on the work of Ohana Kilo Hoku, a Native Hawaiian non-profit organization I am a member of. Drawing inspiration from ancient Native Hawaiian's who used the night sky to navigate the Pacific Ocean, we work to cultivate relationships between the youth and the science of the sky above.
