On Tuesday, February 15, 2011, we learn about
the case of a sacred burial site in Los Angeles that has been disrupted to
make way for the "LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes at El Pueblo"
Historic Monument -  a multi-million dollar
museum dedicated to showcasing and preserving the history of Mexicans and
Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles.  The cemetery
opened in 1822 and closed in 1844 when it was determined that the lot was
too small. According to the Los Angeles Archdiocese and other documents,
the remains were to have been removed and re-interred at Calvary 
Cemetery. But last October during construction for the new museum, dozens
of indigenous human remains were unearthed. 
Three guests will join the program by telephone from Los Angeles -
each of whom has been active in halting construction: Desireé
Reneé Martinez (Gabrielino), Co-director of the Pimu Catalina
Island Archaeological Field School; Wendy Giddens Teeter, Curator of
Archaeology for the UCLA Fowler Museum; and Cindi Moar Alvitre (Tongva), a
cultural/environmental educator.
