DESCRIPTION:Get Inolved!  Learn how you can help protect 1000's of cultural, burial, 
 and sacred sites in the region!  Listen to and interact with the Tribal 
 Chair of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band!  Take an hour to learn about issues 
 of concern to one of the most sidelined constituencies in the greater Bay 
 Area--the local Indigenous population.\n\nThe San Francisco-Monterey Bay 
 Area has experienced one of the most thorough genocides in human history.  
 Colonialism exists here to the present day.\n\nTopics covered will 
 include:\n--The Indigenous history of the region and the struggle to Speak 
 Truth to misrepresentations of Mission and American history in the 
 region\n--The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band's efforts to promote Indigenous land 
 stewardship and promote biodiversity\n--The reintroduction of 'cultural 
 burns' to combat potential catastrophic wildfires\n--The ongoing effort to 
 save Juristac, the most sacred Amah Mutsun ceremonial site\n--How all local 
 residents can use existing laws and advocacy to help protect Indigenous 
 burial, cultural, and sacred sites (some notable examples will be 
 given)\n\nThe Amah Mutsun Tribal Band consists of the descendants of those 
 who were taken to Mission Santa Cruz and to Mission San Juan Bautista.  
 Valentin Lopez is the current Tribal Chair.  He is involved in numerous 
 efforts of concern to the Indigenous populations of California.  He has 
 spoken at the United Nations.\n\nLouis Chiaramonte organized the South Bay 
 Indigenous Solidarity Group.  He has been involved in advocating for 
 burial, cultural, and sacred sites for many years.  South Bay Indigenous 
 Solidarity is a multi-ethnic group that supports Indigenous-led, grassroots 
 efforts to promote human rights, restore Indigenous land stewardship and 
 preserve threatened cultural, burial, and sacred sites.\n\nAlthough this 
 Talk will take place during the Guest Speaker section of a meeting of the 
 Democratic Club or North Santa Cruz County, the views expressed in the 
 presentation are those of the speakers themselves.  South Bay Indigenous 
 Solidarity seeks to act in solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples of the 
 San Francisco-Monterey Bay Area, but does not represent any Tribal Group.  
 To that end, the sections of the presentation given by South Bay Indigenous 
 Solidarity will be separated from those given by Tribal Chair Lopez.  The 
 Tribal Chair will be available for an interactive question and answer 
 session.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/07/31/18844081.php
