An ancient Gabrielino-Tongva Native American Burial Ground was recently unearthed in Huntington Beach, Ca. It is estimated to be around 7000 - 9000 years old. Brightwater/Hearthside homes attempted to cover the fact that they hit ancient human remains and artifacts while building homes in Huntington Beach. In doing, so they have desecrated at least 178 graves!
Help us to stop the any further construction of this premises. The Gabrielino-Tongva tribes of Southern California are the second most recognized tribe in the state of California, yet have been unable to secure any land rights or benefits to their people. Their voices have been stifled once more in regards to protecting their ancient burial.
These findings should be researched and removed with grace and dignity by professional archeologists and either preserved or re-located according to the wishes of the Gabrielino-Tongva people!
Please sign our petition! Protests will be held every wednesday in Huntington Beach on the corner of Bolsa Chica and Warner Ave from 5 to 6pm until efforts are made to stop this unfortunate violation of historical and human rights!
