A Special Message from Native American Activist Rebecca Robles

Dear Family and Friends,

There is much going on related to the sacred site of Panhe and the proposed Toll Road. Even I can hardly keep up with it! Many of you have asked me to help you understand it. I know that the destruction of Panhe would be a great loss for our community.

Although it was very disappointing to learn of a letter of intent between the TCA and one of the tribal groups, the Acjachemen people remain dedicated to protecting Panhe. Two Acjachemen Tribal Leaders and the United Coalition to Protect Panhe have sent letters to the California Native American Heritage Commission urging the Commission to continue its efforts to save Panhe and stop the toll road.

Our resolve to protect our traditional culture site and history remains strong. We remain focused and ask that you do also. We will continue to build support and STOP THE DESTRUCTION!

Please write to the Native American Heritage Commission to tell them thank you for their efforts to protect Panhe and Native California history. Let them know what you think about this important issue.

Write to Larry Meyers at lm_nahc@pacbell.net. To learn more visit www.savepanhe.org.

Thank you,
Rebecca Robles
