American Indian bone fragments have been unearthed at a Bolsa Chica Mesa construction site where a residential community is planned.

California Native American Heritage Commission officials say the Brightwater Hearthside Homes site may be an ancient burial ground of international importance. Half the 174 bone fragments were found in the past 18 months.

Commission program analyst Dave Singleton says the property was once shared by the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians and Gabrieleno-Tongva.

After years of legal wrangling over plans to construct more than 300 homes at the site, developer Hearthside Homes got permission to build as long as bones are buried elsewhere.

Wow development in a graveyard ,people dont have any fucken respect

[VronRN]

A housing development upon an ancient village site that includes at least 174 human burials?!?? My God.. that's just shameful and very sad. =(

Even today, developers want to move the graves at the VA hospital in Brentwood. These people should be protesting in Brentwood because the only indians that died for this country are buried at the VA.

I just seen a nascar ad on tv that said that a certain race track was build on an old indian burial ground, thats b/s that can get away with doing that kind of stuff.

You should have made a sign that said: Watch Poltergeist!

We've been told the protests happen every 1st Saturday of the month, but did not see anybody protesting on the corner of Bolsa Chica and Warner on October 3rd. Does anybody have any updates or links with more current information?

Thanks

When all the trees have been cut down,

when all the animals have been hunted,

when all the waters are polluted,

when all the air is unsafe to breathe,

only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

Thank you for showing this. I had no Idea that , that area is a burial site. They Should Not build on it.

Our government can throw billions of dollars at Wall Street bankers, mortgage companies and the housing industry, but where are the authorities when it comes to stopping the crimes in Huntington Beach and Orange County. The Bolsa Chica is a historical location of global significance. Destruction of an ancestral home for a stucco home is tragic. I am glad there is a groundswell of people trying to stop this tragic destruction.
