Food for Thought "..When I hear it spoken by Native peoples, in its proper context, I hear the voices of the ancestors. I am reminded of powerful grandmothers who nurtured our people and fed the strangers, of proud women chiefs who stood up against them, and of mothers and daughters and sisters who still stand here today. In their honor I demand that our language, and our women, and
our history, be treated with respect..." https://www.nativenortheastportal.com/editorial-note-use-word-squaw

OUR HOME ~ OUR BEAUTIFUL VALLEY ~ OUR DECISION !! SATURDAY JUNE 14 4 PM LIBRARY PAVILLION

The California Court of appeals has denied the Fresno County lawsuit against the State of California in their attempt to preserve our name, citing that Fresno County does not have legal standing to sue the state in our behalf. Despite the county presentation of very compelling evidence in support of retaining the name Squaw Valley, the court’s decision was that we, as a community, must bring our own action against the state. Fresno County was represented by the Brian C. Leighton Law Offices, specialists in constitutional law, government law, and civil rights. Brian has agreed to represent our community in action against the state, should we wish to proceed with an effort to preserve our name. He believes that we do have a good chance of prevailing against the state. WE ARE PLANNING A COMMUNITY MEETING AND WILL POST TIME & DATE SOON !! STAY TUNED !!

This is America, a nation of laws where the rights of the individual means something. The government (federal, state, or local), is not allowed to walk over the rights of the people without due process. That is if we, as a community, stand up for our rights and demand due process from the government. We must make our voices heard. Too often, we stand by and just let things happen. We gripe among ourselves but we don't speak out where it matters. There is a saying that it takes a community to raise a child. Well, it takes a community to save a community. SPEAK OUT!! Nathan Magsig is on our side but we need to send him the support and backing he will need to carry on the fight. Send your comments opposing the name change to BOTH [email protected] and [email protected]. The first goes directly to Nathan where he will include it in the response that Fresno County sends to the state and the second goes directly to the California Board of Geographic names. But don't just send in your response. Call your friends and neighbors. Tell them to send in a response and tell them to call their friends and neighbors. And so on and so on. Get involved!! You can make a difference, but you must act now. We only have a few days. If we want Squaw Valley to survive, we have to work to save it.
