DESCRIPTION:November 23, 2012- 11th Annual Black Friday Protest Against the Bay Street 
 Mall: \nNo More Desecration of Sacred Ohlone Shellmounds!\n\nAt 12 noon on 
 Friday, November 23th Indigenous peoples and allies will gather at the Bay 
 Street Mall to contest the continued desecration of sacred sites. This 
 shopping center opened in 2000, amid massive controversy. It was erected 
 atop one of the last remaining shellmounds- the traditional burial sites of 
 the Ohlone people who are the original inhabitants of the Bay Area. With 
 blatant disregard for the desires of the local Native community, developers 
 and the City of Emeryville plowed ahead with construction of the mall and 
 Indigenous peoples have since expressed their outrage annually on this 
 busiest of shopping days.\n \nThis year is the 11th anniversary of the 
 event, which occurs the day after Thanksgiving to acknowledge the centuries 
 of genocide that have taken place against the Native inhabitants of this 
 land. It is only through the recognition of the rights of Indigenous 
 peoples to have their sacred places accessible and intact that historical 
 injustices can begin to be addressed.\n \nAll are invited to join in this 
 family-friendly event. Meet at the corner of Ohlone Way and Shellmound 
 Street at 12 noon to educate shoppers about the history of the mall and pay 
 respects to the ancient burial ground upon which it sits.\n \n
