DESCRIPTION:
-------------------------------------------

> > The West Bluff above Ballona is recalled in oral history tales

> > as home to a rich and relatively numerous "village" of the people

> > now known as Gabrieleno/Tongva, the indigenous people of the

> > Los Angeles Basin. They were generous, but contentious, according

> > to one account, mostly minding their own business of prayers,

> > ceremonial dancing, and living on the bluffs overlooking paradise.

> > Now Catellus Corp. is proposing to build a huge housing tract on

> > this last very rare upland habitat, attached to the wonderful

> > Ballona Wetlands and needed to keep it healthy. In addition,

> > the West Bluffs is a beautiful flower field, foraging field for

> > raptors and resting place for tired eyes of urban dwellers.

> > Instead of a housing tract, it should be a memorial field for

> > our Native Americans, the Gabrieleno/Tongva, and the ancestors

> > disturbed should be reburied and left in their cemetery.

> > If you can, please think of attending the vigils. /Doug
