Scientists hoping to view objects 13 billion light years away are facing opposition from Hawaiian Native groups. These groups believe that the construction website of a new telescope is not on the expected lines.

On Friday, a Native Hawaiian leader referred to as on the state and the University of Hawaii to put a halt on the construction immediately after several dozens of protestors were arrested a day before.

It was reported that about 300 protesters gathered at the mountain Thursday, and police and state law enforcement arrested 20 folks who attempted to block a road major to the summit of Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island.

Peter Apo, a trustee for the Workplace of Hawaiian Affairs, said he has asked Gov. David Ige and University of Hawaii President David Lassner to bring folks together in the course of a 30-day moratorium to perform out a lengthy- term remedy.

Apo said, "Hawaiians completely believe in science. How that plays out on this mountain is going to be matter of acquiring the right set of men and women in area to negotiate some sort of compromise that absolutely everyone can reside with".

He said that stopping the construction would be important as one cannot enter into discussion on the point until the construction is stopped.

Apo said the state must re-examine how it manages the summit, which belonged to the monarchy until the US conquered the Hawaiian kingdom in 1893.

It has been found that the state still holds former kingdom lands in trust for the Hawaiian persons.

Mike McCartney, the governor chief of staff, stated that the governor's workplace has been involved in discussions but they should also decline commenting about safeguarding the integrity of the talks and enable productive conversations to continue.

University spokesman Dan Meisenzahl said in a statement that the school welcomes all calls for much more discussion and is even actively meeting and addressing the problem at the highest levels.
