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.

20,362 | Stephen C. | Oakland, CA | Every piece of habitat preservation in this area is essential for the existence (and potential future Improvement) of wildlife corridors--de facto or de jure-- between the Santa Cruz mountains and the Diablo, Galilean and Santa Lucia ranges. There is nothing creative about ignoring the realities of historical and cultural claims of the Amah Mutsun people, or those of biodiversity. | Oct 28, 2024 | |
