Playa Vista

Playa Vista: "The Tongva/Gabrielino Saa'anga Village and Cemetery, also known as Ballona Wetlands or Playa Vista Development project is being destroyed. Everyday the number of Ancestors being removed is increasing. Today the number is well over 200!! Bones, jewelry and funerary objects are being removed.

Steve Soboroff, President of Playa Vista Capitol Corporation, has refused to work with the American Indian community to preserve this site. The State of California Native American Heritage Commission has issued a Cease & Desist letter, dated February 19, 2004. He has ignored the letter and has increased the number of archaeologists at the site to move the fragile remains more quickly.

We need Attorney General Bill Locklyer to step in Now!!

YOU have the power to help us save Saa'anga!!

What you can do Today: Make phone calls and send e-mails to those in power.
