Loving Caring & Sharing Together- Paddle to Swinomish 2011 PR Slideshow1
Introduction of upcoming NW Tribal Canoe Journey event:
Paddle to Swinomish 2011
Loving Sharing & Caring Together
July 25th-31st 2011
Over 130 family canoes will land on the shores of the Swinomish Reservation, across from the town of La Conner, WA. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see & experience the canoe culture of our Salish tribes and other visiting inter-tribal canoe families paddling to Skagit County. This paddle is a resurgence of the traditional ways of the canoe culture re-instilled as a way to bring back the language; the songs; healing; and reunions between families and friends as the canoes travel the Salish Sea, stopping along the way at various tribal locations & other designated stops. This is a FREE event. Volunteers are needed; vendor opportunities on site are first come, first served! Media coverage is welcome with prior approval.

Native American Action at Glen Cove Continues--4/15/11
Christina Akaquiqui via Francis Sistiague shared this!!!! Please re-post! Please take action if you can...even if it is re-posting this! Thank you....do this for our ancestors....DIGNITY & RESPECT- its all we are asking for...how hard is this?
Native Americans Protest--4/13/11
Cris J. Markey April 19 at 12:32am Reply • Report
URGENT CALL FOR SUPPORT!
Wounded Knee DeOcampo, AIM SB, and other activists have released an emergency request for ALL people to converge at Glen Cove.
Please come to Glen Cove AS-SOON-AS-POSSIBLE and bring friends. We need numbers! GVRD has threatened to attempt a mass arrest tonight. Please remember, no weapons, no drugs, no alcohol -- this is a spiritual gathering to honor and protect the ancestors.
Mr. Presley from the Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) arrived early this morning to tell the protestors that they "are not allowed to camp in the park, and that they will be removed by force if necessary."
Wounded Knee stated, "They are either coming tonight or tomorrow, but we need people out here now."
AIM SB released a similar call on their main website today stating, "The people at Glen Cove just received an "eviction" notice for tomorrow, so please we need as many people as possible at Glen Cove right now. It will help a lot if more people come out and stay the night and/or arrive tomorrow morning as early as possible!"
United Native Americans, Inc: "Help Put An End To The Desecration of American Indian Sacred Sites & Burial Sites!"
The League of Indian Nations and The Strong Heart Preservation Movement, which are backed by The International Parliament of Safety and Peace, has sent word to the City of Vallejo that under international law, and several US laws, that they will be breaking regulations whereby indigenous people are entitled to worship and protect their own lands. Wounded reiterated once again, "This is not a park yet, this is a sacred burial ground and place of worship."
********
Please help us spread the word by calling or eMailing your friends and family. In addition, please contact GVRD and the Major of Vallejo to voice your disapproval of their actions:
GVRD: (707) 648-4600

Vallejo, California - The occupation of the ancient burial site at Glen
Cove in Vallejo by Native Americans and supporters entered its fifth day on Monday, April 18, 2011 as dozens remain at the site to guard it against desecration by bulldozers.
On Sunday, Native Americans and their supporters conducted a cleanup of the beach at Glen Cove, and also painted over Nazi graffiti that the City of Vallejo had allowed to remain on the old Mansion at the site.
Dozens of local residents visited the occupation over the weekend and expressed their support for protecting the burial site. Many expressed outrage that the City of Vallejo was wasting money fighting the Native Americans over this site when other city parks are dilapidated due to budget problems. Supporters brought food and supplies.
The Native Americans are highlighting the fact that public statements by the Greater Vallejo Recreation District in the last few days is very
misleading, with GVRD representatives claiming they want to protect the burial site but failing to mention their plans to dig into a hill that
likely contains human remains with bulldozers.
The U.S. Department of Justice met with the Native American leadership on Saturday to lay the groundwork for a possible mediation meeting with Greater Vallejo Recreation District on Monday or Tuesday.
The history and cultural value of the site has never been disputed.
Native Americans continue to hold ceremonies at Sogorea Te just as they have for thousands of years.
The Glen Cove Shell Mound spans fifteen acres along the Carquinez Strait. It is the final resting place of many Indigenous People dating back more than 3,500 years, and has served as a traditional meeting place for dozens of California Indian tribes.
The site continues to be spiritually important to California tribes. The Glen Cove site is acknowledged by GVRD and the City to have many burials and to be an important cultural site, yet they are attempting to build a toilet and parking lot on this sacred site and to grade a hill that likely contains human remains and important cultural artifacts.
Sacred Site Protection & Rights of Indigenous Tribes (SSP&RIT)
has asked GVRD to reconsider their plans to grade the hill and build
toilets and a parking lot at the site.
Glen Cove is located near the intersection of South Regatta and
Whitesides Drive in Vallejo.
