Last year I paid Angelika Jardine to proofread it. For those of you that have old copies of it you may want to get the new version of it with the appropriate edits, yet it has no major content changes. It simply is a proofread to correct grammar and style. View all 3 comments.

Tataviam families gathered to receive the Walk for the Ancestors, taking over the plaza of Mission San Fernando for three hours with storytelling, traditional songs, and dance. It was the first time in memorable history that the Tataviam community has gathered at the mission grounds for purposes other than a funeral. Joined by other indigenous people and non-native supporters, over of us stood together. And one of the things I said to the Pope, in a message to him: I said he made a mistake.
Because what he did is he woke us up. And I thank Caroline and her family for walking.

At San Luis Obispo, we were received by a strong circle of Northern Chumash families and other local native and non-native people, some from as far away as the Kern Valley Indian Community in Bakersfield. Just before sunset, we gathered outside the San Miguel mission cemetery, holding hands as Patti Dunton of the Salinan Tribe led a prayer and walked around us, singing a Salinan blessing song with a bull kelp rattle. She welcomed us and shared kind words of support and gratitude.
May you have strength to finish your journey. While we were holding our circle outside the cemetery, the mission grounds were bustling with activity, as a Catholic wedding was underway. The gate to the cemetery was chained shut, so we asked the staff at the visitor center if they could let us in. They declined to grant us entry, stating that it was closed for repairs. We carried on with our circle, taking turns sharing reflections and stories pertaining to the mission.
As we walk, all of our ancestors walk with us~
We reached Mission Soledad in the afternoon of September 27th after traversing the bone-dry Salinas River and the vast maze of agribusiness operations that spans the Salinas Valley. Of all the 21 Missions, this is the one we knew the least about: What we found upon reaching the mission proved disturbing beyond what we had imagined. On the morning of September 23rd, we arrived to Mission Carmel, bracing ourselves for a day we had not been looking forward to. In the Mission courtyard, about 75 people sat in plastic chairs, enthusiastically preparing to watch a live feed of the Canonization Mass for Junipero Serra on a giant TV screen.
Meanwhile, in the old cemetery where over 3, indigenous ancestors lie buried in unmarked graves, we gathered together with Esselen descendants and other native and non-native people, standing in mourning, prayer, and solemn opposition. Prior to her session I had just finished working on my genealogy for both sides of my family and I was absolutely positive that these women spirits were here to guide and comfort me. It made me cry tears of joy!!

All of our relatives are walking with us, speaking through us like the many colors of the rainbow. Listen, and you will hear their steps, their voices, their colors. Garrett from Walking on the Wind:
