Question 14 • WA-Physical Science B

What did the Indigenous protesters against the construction of a telescope on Mauna Kea in 2020 and at Six Grandfathers Mountain in 1970 have in common?

Answer
A
They were successful in influencing legislation related to Indigenous concerns.
B
They hoped to extend voting rights to Indigenous groups.
C
They wanted to protect land important to Indigenous people.
D
They raised awareness about the importance of educating Indigenous children.

Explanation

Both protests centered on protecting land with deep cultural and spiritual importance to Indigenous people. The Mauna Kea protesters opposed building a telescope on a sacred mountain in Hawaii, while the Six Grandfathers protest concerned the mountain later renamed Mount Rushmore, which is sacred to the Lakota. Their shared goal was protecting significant Indigenous land, not extending voting rights or changing education.
