“Nobody remembers or has seen or is aware of any sort of ceremonial activities on that property.”
CampusReform: Officials at UC Berkeley finally lost patience with a group that has been illegally occupying university property since Sunday to protest the development of land they claim is sacred.
The group, which styles itself the Indigenous Land Action Committee, has been camping on a parcel known as the Gill Tract that it argues is sacred land belonging to the Ohlone tribe, but on which the university is planning to construct a senior center and several retail stores, The Daily Californian reports. more here
well I guess being native american does not “trump” progressives land encroachment after all.
and columbus is taught to be such a horrible guy for taking “the native americans” land at that school.
I thought illegal squatting was only something the Occupy Wall Street types did. And good for UC Bezerkley for doing something right for a change and evicting these pinheads.
I hope Berkeley was built on an ancient Indian burial ground.
That’s funny.
Will Ward Churchill and Fauxahontas Warren show up?
How about Calvin Coolidge in the headress?
Calvin Coolidge in the picture with the Indian head dress was probably more of a real Indian than those two fake injuns combined. And besides he did it in pre politically correct times so he got a pass.
No disrespect for President Coolidge intended.
I’m a native American – I was born here. Whenever I’m forced to fill out some form that demands & answer, I always list myself as a “Native American.”
All of us who were born here legally are Native Americans. What else would I be even though my ancestors were English, Scots/Irish and German. If you were born here you are an American, native born pure and simple. I have no intention of becoming again English or a Scotsman or Irish or German although I would visit there. At least The British isles, maybe not Germany.
…and they only moved the headstones!
Pssssst…. those are American Indians, not “native Americans”. I’m a native American, who’s a little less than half American Indian.
I have a friend who was born in Rhodesia, who always checks the African-American ethnicity box!
Remember that to a Lefty, when it’s done to someone else, it’s legitimate, political activism. When it’s done to them, it’s an illegal outrage.
What tribe, Trooper? Comanche? Related to Quanah Parker? Bein’ Texas & all.
I am sure that Fauxahontas Warren will show up for her yet another “selfie” moment in the free (CNN) press….oops nope, My Bad…CNN only supports SeaCow Clinton….bought and paid for…and her 7 screwups in debate…flipflops, Libya, honesty, integrity, transparency….enemies lists that were all USA, none foreign….what a piece of work that bitch is….
We displaced the American Indians, who displaced the Clovis people, who displaced an older people, who probably displaced somebody else.
American Indians did not ‘walk in balance’ with the Earth as a conscious decision. They would strip the area of resources then to avoid starvation, go invade some other tribe’s area. Natural selection, disease, and warfare kept their numbers in check, thus usually limiting their impact.
The Anasazi completely changed the climate and environment of the whole Southwest by stripping the entire region of trees like the Easter Island tribes. Then they moved on.
Prior to the Indian Casino craze the majority of legal action created on the Reservation was lawsuits against the Federal and State Governments seeking redress for land use grievances.
After the Casinos the majority of legal actions became challenges to tribal status of members to try to boot each other off the Gravy Train.
They have their good points just like everybody else.
More Congressional Medals of Honor have been awarded to American Indians than any other racial group.
But they play the ‘Culture Card’ at every opportunity.
Bowing and pandering to them serves no one.
For every winner there has to be a loser. Sorry. You lost.
Yeah not now, at least don’t forget your scimitar
What’s happened at UC Berkeley? Have those left coast pandering liberals gone soft?
My my my. I’d think UC Berkeley students would rise up and protest for Indian burial grounds. Must be it’s interfering with more worthy protests like black lives matter, gender reassignment, unisex bathrooms, Sandy Cheeks, ad nauseum
