UPDATE GLEN COVE ><><><><><><><>< DAY 11
Protect Sogorea Te also known as Glen Cove.
For thousands of years, before some immoral strangers set foot in the
Bay Area - the Native American had Patrimonial Jurisdiction over their
land. History has recounted again and again - about killings, scalping,
raping, and a host of atrocities. The authorities pretending to govern
the City of Vallejo must be ashamed of themselves. Paying journalist to
spread disinformation and lying all the time. The land belongs to the
Ohlone and the ancestors that lay buried must remain there on their
land. Four hundred years ago - there was no paleface around - nor would
they have the guts to say what they are saying - now, blatant lies.

A small group of local Native Americans led by
Corina Gould, Wounded Knee DeCampo, Morning Star and others - have the
guts to stand up to very evil most White folks from Vallejo - who want
to build restrooms and other mundane facilities - on Sacred Burial
Ground of the Native American ancestors at Sogorea Te aka Glen Cove.
The time has come for all of California and America to wake up.
President Barrack Hussein Obama must step in and intervene. If you look
at the land that the Native Americans are asking to leave alone - it is
a small patch of land.
All around most White folks have built
large homes - and they want it all - and lying to the teeth The Greater
Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) calling for development on land that
has belonged to the Ohlone for thousands of years. 12,000 years plus.
Archeologists first surveyed Glen Cove way back in 1907 as they did other Shellmounds - all Sacred Burial Grounds.
The many Shellmounds are well know to those that care to understand
such facts. Over the years the Developers have crafted policies and used
ploys and machinations - even bribing local Native American so called
monitors - to circumvent the law.
Recent hundreds of remain were found at Yerba Buena - and no detail report given to the community at large.
Few people know that Candlestick Park has Ohlone Remains scattered all
over the stadium - with dirt that was removed from the Bayview Hill.
Few people know the same thing happened on Treasure Island and as I
said is taking place at Yerba Buena - remains have been removed - in the
years past - dispose without follow any process - in recent years
processed with the help of sell outs monitors who are paid - not to say
much - but will be taken to task by the Grand Father.
Permits have been given to Rogue Developers to build over the Shellmounds - Sacred Burial Ground of the Ohlone.
On such site - thousands of remain are found, sometimes hundreds.
Archeologists trained in White Institution have the audacity to call
these sites "middens" - loosely translated - garbage sites.
Such racial undertones by folks that should know better - defeat the
purpose of having an understanding, a dialog - there is saying about
folks that speak with a forked tongue - and the world know these segment
that unfortunately belongs to homo sapience.
Big development
took place over many Shellmounds in the Bay Area - that is what happen
at Emeryville Shopping Center - build on top on one of the largest
Sacred Burial Grounds and the Project Manager was Kofi Bonner. Kofi
Bonner - the same person who is now President of Lennar, Urban and
trying to use his tactics - elsewhere.
The same person who now
wants to develop Treasure Island and Yerba Buena - and on both these
sites that are serious archeological concerns that have to be addressed.
When it comes to Archeological concerns and those linked with
Anthropology and Sociology - only the Whites are deemed to know; better
than the Native Americans?
What the Whites really know and are good at is lying.
Stealing remains, artifacts, and displaying them in their fake, shallow
museums. These evil folks are fascinated with such issues - that most
indigenous people refrain from touching and disturbing.
The
University of California, Berkeley has over 14,000 remains stored in
boxes and kept in vaults and in a unused gym. Why would any decent
organization participate in such an atrocities?
Well, that is
just how the White Man is and has been behaving all over the world. Here
is our Bay Area. The Environmental Foundations have been slow to
address these facts and failed to investigate the desecration of the
Ohlone, Pomo, the Miwok others tribes in Northern California and all
over California.
The younger Native American children cannot
understand the behavior of the adults and especially the authorities in
Vallejo in this day and age - challenging the the Native Americans - who
demand that there ancestors - be left in peace.
We do not have to request - that time is over.
I was one of those years ago that explained about the Native American
Graved Protection Act (NAGPRA) - years ago. The problem is that these
immoral folks think the have the law on their side when they do not.
If you look around Glen Cove; the area in question - most of it is
developed - and the greed folks want it all - much like a hungry hog
that eats and eats and then lies there in the filth.
You cannot
reason with such folks - because if you do and prove you reasoning
superior - they RACISTS; pull out the race card. Now, I am not stupid to
state that all White folks are racists - but these folks that back The
Greater Vallejo Recreational District and the Vallejo Council are -
racist to the core.
The Native people have never, ever once been brought to the table for any meaningful dialog.
It is always someone with little knowledge and understanding sets the
agenda and the other side told to listen to the hog wash - because
apparently the initiators know it alll.
Native American be they
Ohlone, Miwok, Pomo, Piute, others have been here in the Bay Area for
thousands of years - have been mistreated - shot at, killed, scalped,
raped, and the worst atrocities committed upon.
Not long ago
the Governors in Sacramento - sent edicts to kill the Native Americans -
and if you produced a SCALP - you were rewarded $5.
Shame on such folks and their ancestors. Blood in on their hands - that is why they have no peace of mind.
I have dealt with such issued linked to Patrimonial Jurisdiction at
Yosemite, the San Bruno Mountain, Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, Yerba
Buena, Emeryville, Glen Cove and a thousands other sites - that we visit
- when we organize our Shellmound Walks.
White Folks seem
surprised mostly when you tell them our ancestors are buried in the Open
- they always expect some large monument to be built where the dead
rest in peace. Much like they do there ancestors most of whom led sordid
lives. Amassed illegal wealth to build large monuments - from that
illegal wealth and did less good when they were - alive.
Little
do they know about the Native American culture of burying the dead
facing the East; the direction of the sunrise - the direction of the
Morning Star. Little do they care to understand that material objects -
like large monuments mean nothing much. Little to these evil folks
comprehend about respecting Mother Earth.
Just look around you - what person would cut down so many giant, majestic - Redwood Trees? Only the strangers.
Just think about the tens of thousands buffalo that were slaughtered
for there skins - the flesh left to rot. Who would do this - only one
two legged animal with blue eyes.
Evil to the core - this
animal wants it all. In this economy - where we must save - Vallejo
wants to challenge the Native Americans. Well, think twice before you
venture and take this route.
I encourage all fair minded people
to go to Glen Cove and see what is happening. Support the protesters
with water and food. With warm clothing, tents, fire wood, and what
other assistance you can give.
The Native American has been
kind to the immigrants - and the many immigrants who live in the Bay
Area - have no clue about reality. The few that know - do not want to
get involved.
Well, this is your one time to get involved and say your peace.
Here are some photographs of the site and the people protecting the land of their ancestors:
