Chief Anthony Morales Expresses Opposition to Gondola Construction in Los Angeles

 Chief Anthony Morales of the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians Gabrieleno Tongva has officially voiced his opposition to the proposed construction of a gondola in Los Angeles, citing concerns over its environmental impact and potential disruption to working class communities and historic landmarks.

The proposed gondola project includes plans for a first loading station near the historic Olvera Street, a significant cultural hub and the ancestral village of Yaagna of the first people of Los Angeles, the Gabrieleno/Tongva Tribe. Chief Anthony Morales strongly believes that the construction of the gondola in this area would not only disrupt the historic and cultural significance of Olvera Street but also cause irreparable harm to the surrounding neighborhoods, including El Pueblo, Chinatown, Solano Canyon, and Echo Park.

Chief Anthony Morales emphasizes the importance of preserving the heritage and integrity of these communities, which hold deep historical ties to the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians Gabrieleno/Tongva. The gondola’s construction would not only threaten the physical landscape but also jeopardize the cultural heritage and identity of these neighborhoods.

Furthermore, Chief Anthony Morales highlights the impact of the gondola on Los Angeles State Park, a site in which the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians was involved in the original opening and blessing. The construction of the gondola would disrupt this sacred land, further encroaching upon the ancestral and historic territories of the tribe.

In light of these concerns, Chief Anthony Morales calls for a reconsideration of the proposed gondola project and urges city officials to prioritize the preservation of the environment, our delicate cultural heritage, and well-being of the affected communities.

The book received good reviews from review publications. A review in The US Review of Books stated that the book is a convincing, atmospheric detective mystery with fleshed-out characters who discover more about themselves and their beliefs when thrust into difficult situations.

Readers and fans certainly have something to look forward to with the next stimulating book in this growing series, the review added.

Seattle Book Review thinks otherwise. Book reviewer Foluso Falaye gave the book 5/5 stars and described the book as a captivating narrative of crime, miracles, and generosity.

The reader is drawn into the narrative by the intriguing spiritual themes, the mentally engaging, meticulous investigations add to the mystery and tension, Falaye wrote in his review.

The book also got a positive rating from the Pacific Book Review, which states that the reading experience with this book has been inspirational and uplifting.

A review in the Manhattan Book Review said: The crime fiction elements of Protect and Serve are interesting and show potential to form a compelling and coherent story
