SSP&RIT
Sacred Sites Protection & Rights of Indigenous Tribes

The following statement expresses our deeply held convictions about the need to
Preserve and Protect the sacred Native American burial ground at Glen Cove in Vallejo, California.

PRESERVE:

  • -    Keep the burial site as natural as it was meant to be by Native Ancestors of the Indigenous Tribes.
  • -    Carefully raze the Stremmel Mansion, the caretaker's house and other structures unnatural to the site. They are built over tribal remains.
  • -    Adding a protective layer of soil is further desecration of the site. Leave grounds undisturbed.
  • -    Plan any trails on the perimeter of the site, as the whole 15 acres is shell mound and burial site with significant historical value.

PROTECT:

  • -    Carefully remove by hand the weeds, and prune if necessary.
  • -    Maintenance should be done in a non-invasive manner without re­ grading, discing, etc. with any heavy machinery.
  • -    Any replanting of Native plant varieties must be done under spiritual and cultural advisement.
  • -    The Bay Trail and Bay Area Ridge Trail will be safely rerouted around the sacred burial site to safely protect the beauty and history of this sacred place.
