U.S. Navy desecrates Kumeyaay nation graves, burial ground as construction of ‘training site’ goes ahead,  sing to comfort their ancestors

They are digging up our ancestors beyond that fence. We will most likely be shot if we climb that fence. So we sing to our ancestors to let them know we feel their pain… they can beat us down but we will not break. Kumeyaay Nation.

As construction on an illegitimate U.S. Navy ‘training site’ goes ahead, a protest unfolds in San Diego, California. During previous excavation of the site, a 7,000 year old body was found in a traditional burial ground for the Kemeyaay Nation. 

The U,S. Navy, originally planning to build a training site there, rescinded their plans when when the body was disturbed and uncovered. They have gone back on their word and are moving forward with their plan to further desecrate the sacred ground. 

The Kumeyaay Nation have only asked them to move further west, so that they might not disturb these graves, but their pleas have gone ignored. NAGPRA, or the Native American Graves Protection and Repatration Act, and its provisions appear to not apply. Ethics do not concern occupiers.

There no laws that govern the US military. The NAVY can do whatever they want apparently.

Let the Kumeyaay nation know they are not alone.
