Perhaps a nice statue of a burning wagon.

What would be better is, go to the reservations in Morongo Valley and drill wells for the poor Native Americans to have drinking water. A statue or memorial means nothing. Water gives life. Sacramento has no priorities

Father Serra's mission trail eventually became the 101.

The indian statue should include a chuck-a-luck cage, poker chips, and an empty liquor bottle.

Hey California, when are you renaming all of the cities originally names for the Spanish (white, racist) Missions? We’re waiting ...

What are we to take away from this?
• Brown people good.
• White people bad.

Is this one of those tribes that would stampede a herd of buffalo off a steep cliff in order to kill them off for food and furs?

If they did that with AntiFa I’d put up a memorial honoring them!

That was a good movie. I believe it was one of ABC's "Movie of the Week" from the early 1970's.

I remembered "Tribes" from my childhood and was delighted a few months ago to watch it again on YouTube.

I despise Google, but they have some good stuff too.

#9: How about a topless statue with a memorial to tits, if I may be so impious?"

Sounds reasonable, as long as she's a squaw.

“Tribes” ( 1970 ) was almost two decades before “Full Metal Jacket” ( 1987 ) and “The Boys in Company C” ( 1978 ) but still completes the Vietnam War boot camp trifecta.

How did they become “Native Americans”?

Did they spring from the earth like dandelions?

Or perhaps their ancestors wandered across the Bering Straights?

I’m not a Catholic. But that man was a no-holds barred hero. Father Junipero Serra was a brave pious man who demonstrated unbelievable bravery, endurance, humility and lived his life for Christ. The California missions changed the world and America ultimately. He wasn’t perfect, but in the mid-1700s he was one of the better people you could have met...including Indians.

Sickening to see that man disparaged.

Yes, thousands! In fact, not a single person Father Junipero Serra is alive. Every single one is DEAD!

There is not a single survivor that met that Father. Not a one.
