San Francisco's skyline
has drastically changed for the worse -
with a budget of more than $12.8 Billion -
this city cannot take care of its citizens -
over 25, 000 are homeless - most treated with disdain -
never mind - this City is named after Saint Francis of Assisi.
San Franciscans are astute and much more experienced than the corrupt politicians we have - mostly Democrats.
The Democrats - will be first to criticize others - have created a putrid " cesspool " one of a kind - more divisiveness that will come to haunt us all - today, tomorrow, and in the many years to come.
This is Ohlone land - more Muwekma Ohlone land that for thousands of years enjoyed one of a kind climate - a unique micro- climate - with a natural air conditioning - the fog.
The rivers and the land was not contaminated - the Bay flourished with herring and other fish - and Abalone by the thousands - just lay there for anyone to have and be nourished.
The ancestors took care of the land for over 13,000 years - carbon dated - empirical data - that is known by all - ignored by those steeped in Greed - their day is coming - believe you me.
What once was good - became bad - and now the bad is worse - and still - those that do not respect Mother Earth - vouch for tall building, high density living, putrid air and more - in short - Greedy has taken over - and morals, standards, ethics have been thrown to the wind.
The environment so pleasant - the elements so pure that for thousands of years one of a kind species - fauna and flora thrived - human beings had much to live for - and all the food they wanted.
The clans 40 here, 60 there were happy and travelled and communicated and did what human do best - lived a full life.
The birds and dinosaurs - made their home here in San Francisco - what we call the Bay Area and - beyond.
The land of indigenous people - more the Muwekma Ohlone.
A painting giving us some insight
what the land looked like -
spurring us to address and curtail the Carbon Footprint -
the particulates - more PM 2.5 -
the chronic congestion, lack of Quality of Life issues
more than 25,000 have no roof over their head -
the chronic congestion, lack of Quality of Life issues
more than 25,000 have no roof over their head -
the politicians talk the talk - but fail to walk the walk.
We have been in touch with the Elders - the ones that have wisdom and when we talk to them - it pains them that so many are poor, suffer. That Mother Earth is contaminated and polluted - and those that do not have their heart in the right place - will do anything for money - scumbags that they are.
Those tribes from here and others who have made their home here - removed and sent here - given a one way ticket - from the so called Reservations on the East Coast - in the 1950s - all are fully cognizant of the harm done to Mother Earth.
Brother send to Los Angels and Sister to Oakland - these divineness and separation of family - the harm perpetrated with intent to destroy families - and adversely impact the indigenous people will not be forgotten.
The Great Spirit that sees it all has show me the way - and more when I visit the Black Hill of Dakota - the land of Crazy Horse and Chief Sitting Bull. I saw things first hand - and know that those that made the innocent suffer - have to bear the consequences and are bearing them - right now.
Here is San Francisco - many Blacks have forgotten their relationship with the indigenous people. Many run away from slavery and found a safe haven with the indigenous tribes - many inter-married .
But - today the Blacks have no clue of this own history and less of what they must stand for - steeped in drug dealing, cheating, hoodwinking the likes of Shamann Walton, Dwayne Jones, Veronica Hunnicutt, Linda Richardson.
Malia Cohen, London Breed, Eloise Patton, Oscar James, Sophie Maxwell, Naomi Kelly, Juliet Ellis, Harlan Kelley - others too many to name - they all pander to those that continue to harm the indigenous people - the May Flower types - who brought the worst type of diseases to the shores of Turtle Island.
All tribes acknowledge the host nation - in this case the Muwekma Ohlone.
The tribe that has done all in its power - to legally claim their Federal Recognition;
www.muwekma.org
The Elders with tears in their eyes - advice those that care to hear to their pleas - never, ever to disown the poor and those that need help most.
With this in mind - I took it upon myself to introduce Rosemary Cambra to the City officials that matter. Rosemary Cambra who fought for the rights of her Tribe - and who I met when I worked at the Presidio of San Francisco.
Arranged for the Tribal Chair - to address the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Meet some heads of SF City Departments - and all this was done to bring a better understanding.
Those - who do not have their heart in the right place - will not comprehend for the simply reason - they do not have the ability to feel and emphasize - have no compassion - worship money - like there is no tomorrow.
We took some photographs and Chair Rosemary was honored and received a Resolution introduced by Eric Mar and David Campos.
Signed - by all the Supervisors - acknowledging the Muwekma Ohlone - as the First People of San Francisco.
Chairperson Rosemary Cambra -
and Francisco Da Costa at
the SF Board of Supervisors
in attention as she is being introduced
before receiving the Resolution -
acknowledging the Muwekma Ohlone as the
First People of San Francisco and the adjoining area.
In 1991 when I worked at the Presidio of San Francisco - large areas - Bases Closures - mostly belonging to the Department of Defense - were listed under the Base Closure Act.
The Act gives the local tribes the Right to First Refusal - on all of these bases - and many did - among them the Muwekma Ohlone.
I was working with the Command Group at the Headquarters of Sixth Army and Presidio of San Francisco.
I was privy to this information and could explain as best I could - the history of the First People of San Francisco.
Other local tribes too - to those that lacked the knowledge of the local tribes and more the atrocities committed by those who stole the land. I did my best to share the facts - and more the process - how to fight for one's rights. I do this to this day.
This Right of First Refusal has been tied to several Resolutions linked the the SF Board of Supervisors in the past - Resolution given to the Muwekma Ohlone - all when Rosemary Cambra headed the Muwekma Tribe.
Also a detailed resolution by the San Francisco Human Right Commission - acknowledging the Muwekma Ohlone as the First People of San Francisco.
Most important in the early 1980s - the incorporation of the Muwekma Ohlone - into the City and County of San Francisco's General Management Plan - as the First People of San Francisco
At that time some of us met with then SF Director of Planning Amit Ghosh - who incorporated the language - now rarely referred to - more when Environmental Impact Reports - are referenced - and the language once incorporated - for a reason - is avoided.
The incorporation of the language - referring the Muwekma Ohlone as the First People of San Francisco has been acknowledged by SF Directors of Planing Dean Macris, Green, and our current SF Director of Planning John Rahaim.
The last 10 Mayors and other City officials - all of whom I have met and knew personally - knowledge this fact - recently one of them Gavin Newsom now the current Governor of California - apologizing for the injustice done to California indigenous people.
A rendering by a Russian Artist - Muwekma Warrior -
the regalia and his demeanor knows no bounds -
I have several renderings of such paintings
and photographs - all well documented -
by experts and our well known museums.
The recent results linked to the just concluded November 5, 2019 paints a picture - and a " situation " - never, ever seen before - about 23% of the over 840,000 the population of San Francisco -voted.
Be it that the registered voters do not number 840,000 which includes infants, children, youth and others who cannot vote - just to clarify - and put the facts in order.
However, back to the point only 23% of the registered voters cared to vote.
This is shocking and points to the rampant corruption that has reached - saturation point.
Most of the ballots linked to " affordable housing " were written in convoluted language - and is meant to favor the Big Developers, Property Managers like Mercy Housing, the John Stewart Company, Bridge Developers and the many cronies that Mayor London Breed is in bed with.
Let me remind everyone - every square inch that you see and can touch and smell in San Francisco - is Muwekma Ohlone land.
All of the land what is now San Francisco and the entire Bay Area and beyond was stolen.
There is no singular document nor one single legal document that clearly spells out that the Muwekma Ohlone - handed over land - signed some agreement.
The thieves when asked some pertinent question get angry - as any thief does - when accosted - such are the ways of the devil - who is evil - and one must keep one distance - or else one will smell of sulphur - pungent and nauseating.
Eve verbally no indigenous persons agreed to the aggressors - who until 1927 could murder and kill any indigenous person - and fetch a measly $5 - edicts sent by the Governors of California.
Many indigenous went as Mexicans changed their tribal names - the horrific facts are many - and reading them makes one puke.
No one seems to care about his history - no one wants to speak - Truth to Power.
Indigenous children were taken from their families - and sent to boarding schools - hundreds of them - added to thousands - and brain washed.
Forced to wear western clothes - forbidden to speak their tribal language - fed bland food - and treated worse than animals.
The atrocities committed are many - too painful to relate - we know this and what is pertinent to know and remember - about the deep pain, suffering, trials and tribulations - some of us who care - will speak truth to power.
Crissy Field Mounds - as seen
at the Presidio of San Francisco - National Park Service
where once many remains lay and were disturbed -
some remains were removed and desecrated -
stored in a garage that burnt down -
by a NPS archeologist - Leo Barker
the SF Presidio Fire Department
has the Incident Report.
Crissy Field is littered with
remains of the First People -
not only Ohlone tribes - Miwok and others
for some strange reason -
again and again desecrations are committed -
one tribe played against the other
acting as monitors - those who choose to pander -
are paid by the National Park Service and others.
The White colonists and the others who came to lands of the indigenous - begging to be saved and then bit the hand that saved them - today - have a burden - it is called KARMA.
They can talk the talk but they will not be able to walk the walk - not as long as they have their heart in the wrong place. Aho.
