The Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians is suing L.A. County and others, saying ancestral remains were mishandled when La Plaza de Cultura y Artes was built in downtown L.A.
The Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians, also known as the Kizh Nation, is suing Los Angeles County, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the nonprofit La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, saying that their ancestors' remains were mishandled when they built the Mexican American museum in downtown L.A. The Kizh Nation alleges in the lawsuit filed last week in L.A.
The construction work at the plaza resulted in the 'desecration' of more than 100 graves, the suit states. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles is responsible for the cemetery; L.A. County owns the land where the cemetery is and La Plaza de Cultura y Artes is the museum that opened in April 2011. The plaza serves as a community hub where Latinx culture is celebrated through dance, music, exhibitions and more.
