Given that there have been some difficulties regarding the importance of Mauna
Kea to Hawai'ian traditional beliefs, I was wondering if a new mountain could
be added to those already available.

For the Canada Winter Games in 1971, being held in Saskatchewan - a province
topographically similar to Kansas - an "artificial mountain" was built.

However, that mountain was just 45 metres high, according to the Wikipedia page
about it, although this page

http://www.canadagames.ca/1971-canad...ames-saskatoon

gives it 100 metres.

In any case, that's high enough to do some skiing, but not really enough to
make a difference to a telescope.

Ask the natives exactly HOW a telescope is going to make their FICTIONAL gods angry? Are they always against learning new things? Reminds me of the Star Trek ep. where the albinos were kept in ignorant fear of "Val."
