Sogorea Te; Native Americans Protect Sacred Site Glen Cove

In the order of creation, as it was meant to be, human people were last to arrive. Way back then, before our ancestors descended, the "Bay" area was named Turtle Islands. The creator gave the people this place to flourish and grow. So they lived in the abundance and the manner to protect this sacred earth. If we fast forward to the year 1999, a man named "Wounded Knee" De Campo was awakened by his ancestors. He descended from the original people of turtle Island. The original agreement of Wounded's people is never bought, sold, denied, or forgotten. Wounded called out to all nations of peoples (for all human people was given by the creator) to align themselves on Sogorea Te ceremony. Wounded's strength and perseverance was born in the unity of all nations people. We are all honored to know the loving care of Wounded Knee. People of all nations will always align in love. So many of our lives were and are still lost in the hatred of fear. But those who who survive or have sacrificed will always live to love. This struggle to protect Sogorea Te is a moment's breath of this universe. Breath is all we have left of the universe. Breath is all we have left of "our" freedom. With every breath we have, we will protect the sacred sites in alliance with our creation. This is all I know of the truth, as no one owns the truth I can only know what is my truth.
On July 30, 2011 Saturday I attended a closing which really means "opening" ceremony. It all appears that a governing agency representing Vallejo, Ca agreed to stop further destruction of its sacred earth Sogorea Te "aka" Glen Cove, a 15 acre lot where land meets water. They agreed to allow the care of this land to be in the hands of the Native American Tribes collectively involved forever. I'm sure they mistakenly sold forever to native peoples so many time that now this "new" stimulus plan is to give away. The exact details will as always be available and revealed at the agency's involved convenience. I believe that the government admitted their deceit because they were caught by their own corruption. In the meager attempt, they try to save the face but they also show their ass.
Shameful at best, our government on the left hand will always deny it has a right hand. but for now , on this day the spirit of creation was embodied by the unity of the people to protect all sacred sites of this land. We attended the initial ceremonies of alliance and asking the ancestors to gather, guide, and protect us through this struggle. My mother Naoma (72 years), my daughter Uhane and myself Luella picked, gathered and bundled sage for the people. We delivered this medicine to Wounded Knee. Today July 30, 2011 on this day; The last day the sacred fire burned with the truth of creation. We all belong to the earth, no one owns. This exists in a sacred manner we live in forever.
