Dear County of Santa Clara Officials,
We respectfully urge you to protect and preserve Mutsun cultural heritage by rejecting the proposed Sargent Quarry Project. The land threatened by the quarry, known as Juristac in the Mutsun languge, is of immense cultural, historical, environmental and spiritual importance to the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. Juristac is not an appropriate location for a sand and gravel quarry under any circumstances.
We call on you to uphold the the indigenous rights of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band to maintain and protect their religious and cultural sites as enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Preserving Juristac is a necessary and significant step in addressing the historical and continuing dispossession and destruction of the indigenous peoples of Santa Clara County.

| 10,095 | Barbara A. | Watsonville, CA | I had not heard of your tribe, even though I have lived next to the Watsonville Fairgrounds for 11 years! Has your group heard of any other suitable sites for Granite Rock to quarry? Or is it the waterways that makes the Juristac so appealing to them? With good water becoming such a rare commodity, I would think Granite Rock could not pass the environmental review process. | Nov 27, 2020 | |
