• With High-Powered Assist, Gabrielino-Tongva Indians Win One For a Change

  This story details how the Gabrielino-Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, among others, lost a round to prevent what they consider shoddy treatment of their ancestors' remains amid home building on the Bolsa Chica mesa. As Anthony Morales (pictured), the Gabrielino-Tongva group's most likely descendant, put it, "This action is an attack on our culture and considered a hate crime." But Morales can chalk up a win in a separate battle seeking quiet dignity for his ancestors' remains. With s

• State Panel Backs Native Americans Battling Bolsa Chica Project

  After local Native Americans and the Bolsa Chica Land Trust lost their bid before the California Coastal Commission last month to halt Brightwater/Hearthside Homes construction on the Bolsa Chica mesa until they could be satisfied Indian bones were being handled properly, Anthony Morales said the last hope "for dignity" rested with the California Native American Heritage Commission. Late Friday night, the commission voted unanimously to give the tribal leader of the Gab

• Battle Over Bolsa Chica and Indian Bones Keeps Humming Along

  When the California Coastal Commission meets in Huntington Beach on Thursday, panelists will be staring into at least one familiar face: that of Chief Anthony Morales of the Gabrielino-Tongva Band of Mission Indians (pictured). While the commission deals with coastal development issues up and down the state, their monthly meetings bounce around from city to city so they can be closer to all the people whose interests they allegedly represent.

• One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indian Rifts at Bolsa Chica

  For Chief Anthony Morales of the Gabrielino-Tongva Band of Mission Indians, his long fight for the dignified treatment of Native American remains unearthed on the mesa overlooking the Bolsa Chica wetlands may finally be coming to an end. Healing a rift with rivals from the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation, will likely take much longer.  Addressing the California Coastal Commission meeting Thursday at Huntington Beach City Hall, Morales revealed that Hearthside Ho

  Based on the just released 2008 Annual Ocean and Bay Water Quality Report, Orange Countians can get a sense of the cleanest beaches, the dirtiest strands and the worst sewage spillers. Well, at least those were the ones in 2008.There is plenty of good news in Orange County Health Care Agency's yearly water-quality report (which you can read in its entirety here). Sewage spills in 2008 dropped for the sixth straight year and hit their lowest mark since 2000. The number of beach closure days due
