The Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority, established by Act 255 of the Hawai'i state legislature in 2022 to replace the University of Hawai'i's decades long management of the mountain's summit, is a state government body whose own record is cited here for its establishment and mandate. As a government agency's own institutional record, it is authoritative for what the authority is and what it was created to do, which is the fact cited. It is an institutional record, not an independent scholarly account of the mountain's religious and cultural significance to Native Hawaiians, which needs a separate ethnographic or historical source. The authority's own address moved from mkooa.hawaii.gov, which no longer resolves, to a page hosted by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources; the url on this record is corrected here to that live address, confirmed 2026-08-09 against the department's own site and independent reporting on the authority's current operations.

Reliability Tier2
The Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority, established by Act 255 of the Hawai'i state legislature in 2022, the middle tier reflecting that it is a state government body's own institutional record, authoritative for what the authority is and what it was created to do, notwithstanding that it is an institutional record rather than an independent scholarly account of the mountain's religious and cultural significance to Native Hawaiians, which needs a separate ethnographic or historical source. NotesThe State of Hawai'i's own record establishing the Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority, the body managing the mountain (2022); an institutional record, not independent scholarly analysis.
