"WE THE UNDERSIGNED",
SUPPORT THE GABRIELINO-TONGVA TRIBES IN PRESERVATION OF THEIR SACRED BURIAL SITE LOCATED IN HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA AROUND THE AREAS OF BOLSA CHICA/WARNER AVE.
WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS LAND SHOULD BE PROTECTED AND PROPERLY INVESTIGATED AND/ OR EXCAVATED BY PROFESSIONAL ARCHEOLOGISTS BEFORE ANY FURTHER CONTRUCTION OR MANIPULATION OF THESE GROUNDS CONTINUES.
WE BELIEVE THE GABRIELINO-TONGVA TRIBES SHOULD HAVE FIRST SAY IN HOW THE REMAINS OF THEIR ANCIENT ONES ARE PRESERVED AND/OR RELOCATED.
WE URGE CITY AND STATE TO SUPPORT THE GABIELINO-TONGVA TRIBES IN AN EFFORT TO PRESERVE THEIR HISTORY AND OUR HISTORY AS AMERICAN CITIZENS!
WE GIVE GREAT THANKS, FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS REGARDING THIS MATTER!

WHAT AN OUTRAGE! WHAT A DISGRACE! WHAT A HORRIFIC THOUGHT, BUT IT'S REALITY SO PLEASE STOP NOW!! You have desecrated at least 178 graves of Gabrielino-Tongva people HOW DARE YOU! The second most recognized tribe in the state of California, yet have no land rights or benefits for their people How would you like someone building homes on your grave? STOP STOP STOP!! It is actions like this that are tearing apart the country... The development on the Bolsa Chica reservation will be a travesty to the heritage of your state. These actions will rob Native Americans of their history by building over their land and graves. |
What will you tell your children about how this country was really founded? Wouldn't you like to tell your children about how you helped preserve the history and rights of the Native American peoples?
The truth...lies, greed, mistreatment of other human beings and nature!
What will you tell your children about how this country was really founded? Wouldn't you like to tell your children about how you helped preserve the history and rights of the Native American peoples?

Already have, Three of our grandchildren are Blackfeet. The oldest granddaughter works very hard on keeping her heritage alive even though she is only 14.
Please I urge these immoral and oppressive actions be suspended. Development of Bolsa Chica is a an unjust action. Brightwater and Heartside homes willing concealed the existence of a burial ground knowing their actions were illegal and unethical, why else would they do what they did. These people who are in charge of the Bolsa Chica "development" knew they were wrong. None of these people would want the graves of their mothers, father, or any other of their ancestors to have a structure built on top of them so why should Bolsa Chicans be treated any less fairly. I urge these immoral actions to be ceased and a formal apology to the Native Americans.
WE NEED TO HEAR THE TRUTH AND PASS IT ON
The truth about who all of their ancestors were. THE TRUTH
