About Pua Case:
Pua Case (Instagram: @protectmaunakea; Facebook: Mauna Kea Education and Awareness; Personal Instagram: @puacase; Personal Facebook: @pua.case) was born and raised on the Island of Hawai’i surrounded by the high mountains of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualālai and Kohala, the fresh waters of Kohākōhau and Waikoloa and the plains of Waimea.
Pua serves on various educational and cultural boards and is the Lead Coordinator of Mauna Kea Education and Awareness, an organization that educates and raises the awareness of communities in Hawaiʻi and beyond on the spiritual, historical, cultural, environmental, and political significance of Mauna Kea. Pua has been a part of the Mauna Kea Movement over the past ten years and has been involved in both community and frontline actions to safeguard the mountain and unify peoples of all nations in a collective mission to network, plan, and support one another.
Puaʻs work is one of commitment, dedication, and passion with a focus on incorporating her native prayers, chants, dances, spirit, and cultural and traditional values and lifeways into all efforts and actions to set a precedence of protocols for social and environmental justice and positive change for the highest good for the earth.
