Serra Is No Saint’
Day of Mourning in San Francisco
Nanette Deetz
9/25/15
While Pope Francis
was proclaiming Junipero Serra a Saint in Washington, D.C.,
California Indians
continued their protest in the form of a prayer ceremony in opposition to this
decision.
Some 200 people
attended the event organized by community leader
Corrina Gould
(Chochenyo Ohlone), Wicahpiluta Candelaria (Rumsen Ohlone/Apache), and Indian
People Organizing for Change,
this ceremony
provided a place where California’s tribal members could grieve Serra’s
canonization, speak historic truth,
and
pray for the
ancestors buried beneath the streets
surrounding Mission Dolores in San
Francisco.
Know
this my brothers and sisters,
"I was with you in heart, spirit and
prayer!"
