Press Release
In response to the continued campaign by the Greater Vallejo Recreation District to desecrate the Glen Cove Sacred Shellmound with plans to develop the burial site of the Ancestors as a recreational area, with parking, bathroom facilities, picnic areas, lights and a walking path through the Sacred Shellmound; Vallejo Intertribal Council and SSPRIT (Sacred Sites Protection & Rights of Indigenous Tribes) will host a Glen Cove Spiritual Walk, A Journey for the Ancestors on September 30, 2009. The walk will begin at 11:00 AM at the GVRD (Greater Vallejo Recreation District) 329 Amador Street, Vallejo, California.
Respected Native American author Vine Deloria Jr. wrote, "Sacred places are the foundation of all other beliefs and practices because they represent the presence of the Sacred in our lives."
We call upon Elders, Spiritual Leaders, Women and Children to join us in this walk in Harmony and Spirit for the Ancestors resting in this Sacred place. Remember our Ancestors, honor them, and protect them. Deloria stated, "A society that cannot remember and honor its past is in peril of losing its soul."
