Tribal home of the Gabrieleno/Tongva of San Gabriel
Tribal home of the Gabrieleno/Tongva of San Gabriel: "The unearthing of over 92 Native American human remains in Playa Vista CA (between the Los Angeles Airport and Marina Del Rey)
The Playa Vista company while developing 1/3 of the Ballona Wetlands have discovered a Gabrieleno/Tongva Cemetery known to the Tongva people as Saa'angna .
SRI, (the archeological firm) that is working on the site is separating funerary objects from the remains, and have accidentally broken bones. This is completely illegal,Unjust and inhumane.
Let our ancestors rest. The meaning of Tongva is People of the Earth, if these remains are not allowed to go back to the earth as intended, our culture may never be the same....."
