"I Support the Preservation of the Native American Glen Clove Burial Site"
The Glen Cove Burial Site is a Native American historical graveyard and sacred site. The Vallejo Inter-Tribal Council and its supporters are urging the City of Vallejo and the Greater Vallejo Recreation District to stop development on the Glen Cove Burial Site (SOL-236).
The Glen Cove Burial Site is located in the southern area of Vallejo in the neighborhood of Glen Cove, CA, and has long been documented as an important burial and sacred site. The decision of what kinds of activities and access is allowed to this sacred site in the future should only be made by the federally recognized representative tribe of the area (the Wintun), and the Vallejo Inter-Tribal Council. Among considerations by the Council is to renovate the historical Stremmel Mansion and turn it into a Native American Memorial, Museum and Cultural Center.
The site is at least 3,500 years old, according to an archaeological report of 1988 by the Novato Archeological Resource Service, and it was first documented in archeological records in 1907 by N.C. Nelson of U.C. Berkeley. Among the findings that lay intact on the site are many human bodies, skeletons with skulls intact and cremations, also mortars, pestles, arrows, and spear points, eagle claws, bear teeth, bird bone whistles, and feather ornaments.
As responsible city organizations, the City of Vallejo and the Greater Vallejo Recreation District have an obligation to act in the best interest of its citizens and the law, and are urged to leave sacred and burial ground matters to the pertaining tribe.
