Kapulei Flores is documenting the Protect Mauna Kea movement.
Hāwane Rios shooting her music video "Mana Wahine" on the Mauna. The video honors the warrior women defending sacred places around the world. She learned her craft from her dad, who’s also an artist. As a native Hawaiian, she has always centered cultural respect in her work. “I saw a lot of photographers who would come up here and get right in the middle of a ceremony,” she says.
Kapulei hopes her photos, which rely on careful framing to bring to life various elements of the movement’s physicality and spirituality, from traditional hula practice to respect for elders, can both honor her fellow protectors and publicize their stories. “I want to get the frontline people’s voices out to the world,” she says. “I want to get our voices to be heard in some kind of way.
Support for the movement keeps growing, says Kapulei, and the earrings have been joined by a wave of bumper stickers, yard signs, T-shirts, like the one she’s wearing. Even though the protectors’ camp at the top of the mountain had to downscale in March due to the pandemic — “It’s expensive to run the camp, to have [toilets] and water and food, and we didn’t want to run the risk of spreading the coronavirus here,” explains Kapulei — the fight continues.

Ivanka Trump Is Trying to Act Like Her Father's Administration Cares About Native American WomenSince President Trump entered office in 2017, he has reduced federal oversight on environmental projects that encroach on Native American land, used the name “Pocahontas” as a pejorative, avoided meaningful policy discussions with tribal leaders, and said he believes Native Americans would be angry if the Washington football team shed the Native American slur from their name. But the Trump administration is seemingly convinced that Native Americans will put all of this—and those pipelines—aside because, hey, Ivanka Trump is paying them some shallow lip service. What better time than a few months before the 2020 election?
