Deckers is erecting huge new buildings in Goleta. They are setting up their headquaters at Hollister and Los Carneros. I have been working in this area for 30 years.

I have been told during those years that this was sacred Chumash land. Can anybody confirm or deny this info?

Dear Chumash relatives....Please STOP trying to explain to non-Natives, the teachings that existed long before their cultures did. Allow them the "humor" they need in order to face themselves in the mirror. They will NEVER understand, as is clearly evidenced by the condition of Mother Earth, & her few remaining days of existance. Consider this "Oh great & all-knowing Non-Natives"...It`s only taken about 500 years of your "knowledge" to kill the entire planet & everything on it. Your history, is your legacy.

American Indians aren't new age. Your mother is.

It's not your land. You are an immigrant. Yes, the american govt committed genocide. Yes, you are the american govt. American Indians have a different relationship with the federal govt than you do, because we were here first and had agreements to let your hateful asses stay here, but you broke those. I think you should go home and take your rotting ancestors who caused so much pain with you. Aho.

It's not blame or self-victimization; it's the constant lack of acknowledgement for the current situation which is a product of the past; i.e. complete ignorance. A-hole.
