DESCRIPTION:He's spoken to the United Nations about this--but the citizens of Santa 
 Clara County will be his most important audience.  It will be their elected 
 representatives that decide the fate of the ancient ceremonial site known 
 as Juristac.\n\nWe invite you to hear Amah Mutsun Tribal Chair Valentin 
 Lopez speak regarding the efforts to deny permits for a 317-acre sand and 
 gravel quarry that would level sacred hills and remove 40 million tons of 
 material from this ecologically-sensitive sacred site.\n\nThousands of 
 Indigenous cultural and burial sites have already been destroyed in Santa 
 Clara County.  We invite you to learn about the unique historic and 
 spiritual significance of Juristac.  And to learn about the sensitive 
 ecology of the area: a home to threatened species, a sensitive watershed, 
 and an important wildlife corridor, uniquely connecting the biomes of three 
 mountain ranges.\n\nIn Tribal Chair Lopez’s words: “Juristac ...is in a 
 pristine state in relation to the surrounding region. The vast majority of 
 our sacred ceremonial sites have been lost to development. Our Amah Mutsun 
 tribe maintains that once disturbed by mining, there will be no way to 
 rehabilitate the cultural and spiritual aspects of the landscape.”\n
