Abstract
:
This presentation is on the injustice that native peoples have had to face in order to keep sacred grounds and traditions safe from construction and destruction from others. As innovational as it may sound to build things such as a telescope, why must it be on grounds that matter to a community on a much greater scale? Why can they not respect the generational wealth within the land over the need to advance their own agendas?
