GLEN COVE SHELLMOUND WALK, A JOURNEY FOR THE ANCESTORS IS SUCCESSFUL








On Wednesday, September 30, 2009 scores of Native Advocates and Activists, Native families, and Indian Country organisations came to join Vallejo Intertribal Council and SSPIRIT in their spiritual walk to Glen Cove where a 4000 year old sacred Shell mound sits along the Vallejo Shoreline on San Pablo Bay.

The City of Vallejo's Greater Vallejo Recreation District has plans to convert the Shell mound site into a recreational usage area. VIC and SPPIRIT sponsored the "Glen Cove Spiritual Walk, A Journey for the Ancestors" to hold ceremony and pray for the Ancestors; and demand an end to the desecration of sacred shell mound G.V.R.D.
