American Indian Airwaves: Defend the Tongva Nation

“A Call to Action: Defending the Tongva Nation from Religious Dogma”
American Indian Airwaves
8 --9 pm today, Los Angeles
Today on American Indian Airwaves we will speak live with Cindi Alvitre (Tongva Naton), Desiree Martinez (Tongva Nation), and Wendy Teeter, Curator of Archaeology for the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History) on the recent desecration of at least 100 and more Tongva Nation ancestors at the construction site of the LA Plaza de Cultura y Aretes Cultural Center at Yangna (downtown Los Angeles, CA on 501 Main St.), how the La Plaza De Cultura Y Artes (http://www.lapca.org/) propaganda supports denying there are Indigenous ancestors being desecrated , and how the La Placita Church ( http://www.laplacita.org/) is employing the doctrine of divine sovereignty by claiming all the ancestors are part of the church and therefore its property. Both the La Placita Church and the La Plaza De Cultura Y Artes are denying, contrary to church and other agency documents, there are no Indigenous ancestors at Yangna. Tune in for much more.
