Gen. Anthony Mastalir, U.S. Space Forces Indo-Pacific commander, spoke Feb. 9, 2023, with a group of about 60 student leaders at Kamehameha Schools Maui in Pukalani, Hawaii. Mastalir detailed a fuel spill atop nearby Haleakala, a place sacred to native Hawaiians, and reiterated the Space Force's pledge to exceed remediation standards and maintain transparency during the clean-up. The students asked a variety of questions, including what effect the spill had on plants and animals at the site, to what steps are being taken to prevent a spill from happening again. Mastalir assured the students that work would include a cultural monitor to ensure an approach consistent with cultural imperatives. The Kamehameha Schools offer a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum which includes the study of Hawaiian culture and language, as well as character education and religious instruction.
