On Cinco de Mayo I drove my friends down to Glen Cove to visit the Indian occupation of the Glen Cove shell mound. It was Sabrina and Olembe's second visit.
The local development authority had long wanted to bulldoze the graves of their/our ancestors, build a park and install toilets and a parking lot among other "amenities". For additional information, and specifics on how to support them:
www.protectglencove.org (https://www.protectglencove.org/)
They have been occupying the site since 4/14/11. Twenty-one days. They welcome visitors, material and financial support, and additional occupiers, especially those willing to spend a night or more.
And please, listen, let them do the talking (very difficult for verbose types like yours truly) before weighing in.
The report on an elected official that I have a great deal of respect for, is that that person visited early on, did a lot of speechifyin' didn't really stick around long enough for others to speak, without being heard from since.
It's all about respect. Be patient. Don't presume. Ask what the protocols are. I didn't mark the ban on obscenity, and was quickly set straight.
The occupiers are there to pray, and save their sacred site. Big emphasis on prayer. Hard for types like me.
But a good day in a sad and angry making situation.
I saw and greeted Tristan Anderson just before we left. I hadn't seen him since before he was maimed and disabled by the IDF. Here's the information about him:

Suffice it to say, my nearly choked up comment to my two companions as we left was, "It is hard to be really, really angry, and really, really sad, at the same time."
Aho!
