DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by Vallejo Intertribal Council, SSP&RIT and the\nInternational 
 Indian Treaty Council\n\n\nWednesday September 30th, we invite you to 
 participate as we walk from\nthe Greater Vallejo Recreation District to 
 Glen Cove for a prayer\ngathering to honor the ancestors as we seek 
 protection for this area\nwhich has  burials and sacred items dating back 
 to 1,500 B.C\n\n\nWHAT: Prayer walk and Gathering to honor the ancestors 
 and pray for\nthe protection of Glen Cove Sacred Site and all Sacred 
 Sites\nWHEN: Wednesday Sept. 30th, 11 AM\nWHERE: Greater Vallejo Recreation 
 District; 395 Amador St, Vallejo, Ca\nto Glen Cove Sacred Site\n\n\nWe will 
 walk 3.8 miles to the Glen Cove sacred site where a prayer\ngathering will 
 be held.\n\n\nHistorically Glen Cove has been a  traditional  meeting place 
 where\nservices such as burials were performed for over one hundred 
 local\nCalifornia Indian tribes. The sacred cove contains human 
 remains,\nshell mounds, and other artifacts. Glen Cove continues to be 
 a\nspiritually important area to the local Native Communities. The 
 site\nwas first documented in archaeological records in 1907 by 
 an\narchaeologist from the University of California at Berkeley 
 and,\naccording to a 1988 report by Novato Archaeological Resource 
 Service,\nis at least 3,500 years old. Many of the sacred items unearthed 
 from\nthe site in previous years remain illegally housed in the Phoebe 
 A.\nHearst Museum of Anthropology at UC Berkeley which houses over 
 13,000\nancestral remains and over 200,000 sacred objects.\n\nThe Greater 
 Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) and the City of Vallejo\nare currently 
 proposing to develop a park with trails and amendments\nthat would 
 desecrate this site. Preserving and protecting this sacred\nplace in the 
 way those who created it meant it to be is a legal right\nunder the 
 American Indian Religious Freedom Act and is an essential\npart of 
 Indigenous cultural survival.  Speakers will urge the City of\nVallejo and 
 the GVRD to halt plans to develop and seek advice from the\nlocal Native 
 Community about how to preserve this historic and sacred\nsite. We are 
 seeking support from local community members, and\nextending a special 
 invitation to Religious and Spiritual Groups who\nare welcome to join in 
 prayer with us as we walk for our ancestors.\n\n\nRoute
