John Tommy Rosa's Tongva Ancestral Territorial Tribal Nation (TATTN) Contents of 43 Page Hamilton Biological Report + Appendix F, 46 Supplemental Pages (11 letters/documents)

Whether you have been a prodigious reader of TONGVA/KIZH indigenous oral and written history, looking back over the last two to two hundred fifty years - or - a local resident interested in learning more about the Mission Indians - I promise you will come away with a much better sense of what it meant or means to have TONGVA ancestry. As a friend of John Tommy Rosas I wish he were here today to give me his perspective but these 46 pages resonated with me.

  Through these letters, you will understand why John Tommy Rosas felt so strongly about his heritage and the reason he worked so many years to save Ballona’s Freshwater, Cultural Resources and Burial Remains of his heritage.

  The Federal Government did extensive studies and they found John Tommy's DNA went back 10,000 years in this area. He personally expressed to me how extremely proud he was of that.

  WARNING: To “create a 25-foot to 30-foot-deep basin” or huge “bath tub” over 60% to 70% of the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve, and then to add 5 miles of levees 25-foot to 30-foot high which will obscure the view of Ballona, is a sacrilege. John Tommy Rosas, Anthony Morales and so many other living Tongva’s and local indigenous people deserve Respect. We must demand PRESERVATION OF THIS SACRED SITE AS LEGALLY DESIGNATED AND DEFINED AS A TRUE RESTORATION. These letters testify to that.
