It is the eighth day for Native Americans and their dedicated supporters who have gathered at Glen Clove, a sacred Ohlone burial site in Vallejo, California, to protect the land from bulldozers threatening to raze the area to install a park and visitor facilities — parking lot, picnic tables and toilets —  atop the burial site. The battle to protect Glen Cove has now spanned more than a decade and the group has committed to camp at the site until a compromise plan is negotiated.

Ohlone activist Corrina Gould told the San Francisco Chronicle, “Our ancestors deserve a place where they can rest forever. People everywhere understand that ancient cemeteries are sacred places. But in Vallejo, they want to put a bathroom on one.”
