Save Panhe and San Onofre Stop the Toll Road

The Coastal Commission voted 8-2 against the toll road through Panhe and San Onofre State Beach. Panhe bears a special meaning in Acjachemen -- as well as non-Indian -- life, culture and history. Panhe is an ancient Acjachemen village that is over 8,000 years old and a current sacred site, ceremonial site, cultural site, and burial site for the Acjachemen people. Many Acjachemen people trace their lineage back to Panhe. Panhe is the site of the first baptism in California, and the first close contact between Spanish explorers, Catholic missionaries, and the Acjachemen people in 1769. The Acjachemen people built the mission at San Juan Capistrano. Destroying Panhe would hurt not only the Acjachemen people but all the people of California and the nation. www,savepanhe.org www.savesanonofre.org
