Judy Chu has ignored the Kizh Nation's letters, so has the POTUS, Obama. We are also in the midst of a major campaign to STOP the Canonization of Junipero Serra, notorious dominating "Evangelist and Empire builder". Any one can steal land, enslave innocent Natives and conduct the largest Genocide in the United States, occupied territory. Please support the Kizh Gabrieleno and other legitimate, historic territorial tribes in the latest federal land grab. Also, please sign our petition to the Pope. There will be vigils at Mission Carmel and other locations soon. http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/urge-pope-francis-to We can't allow our history to continue to be distorted. Our ancestors were enslaved, tortured and women were raped. Serra was a dominator sent to conquer under the Doctrine of Discovery. Please don't let Judy Chu and President Obama take further advantage of the legitimate, historic indigenous people of the San Gabriel Valley!

The facilitators never considered the Dolores Huerta Foundation. A group with a track record addressing this very issue. Why weren't they part of the Nat'l Monument process? Why? Because they are based in Bakersfield, Ca. They have NO geographical or sociological connection to the San Gabriel Mtns. So why are the Chumash, Tejon, and San Manuel part of the planning team. Go figure. Consistency? What do they care. The disrespect of the True people of the area continues at the behest of our government.

There has been no public input. Decisions have been made without any feedback, as none is allowed. The KIZH need to be heard. They are the rightful heirs to the San Gabriel Mtns. What possibly can the outside tribes contribute other than money and the approvals the proponents want.

In Oct 2010, a press conference was held where the KIZH Nation opposed the desecration of a sacred site for a concrete monster. Since that time the politicians and key leaders of these projects have turned else, completely ignoring the legitimacy of the KIZH. The likes of Rep. Judy Chu, former U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, U.S. Rep Grace Napilotano, and on-n-on. They all know the KIZH. Chu runs every time the KIZH approach her. The Chief and several other Tribal members helped Solis in her campaign for U.S. Senator. Napilatano has been on the stage with the KIZH at a local cable station program as well as being in several photo shoots with Tribal Members. For the Nat'l Monument people to go outside of the recognized area can only be for financial support and to get the answers they want to fulfill their agenda.abraxashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040324814798016546noreply@blogger.com
