But this is a start, it explores the irony -- Serra and the Mission system were used to create work- and concentration-camps to get the Native Americans out of the way for Euro-style development, and now, the JSERRA "Crusaders" are planning to run, swim and make money on the very last few acres of this once-sovereign First Nation...

Mr. Belardes states that they have "...never made a statement supporting any development there...". Sonia Johnston states that nothing should be built there, and Damien Shilo only
"...reluctantly agreed that an interpretive center should be built there".

Rather than division, this seems to show that all 3 agree that, in the best case, NOTHING should be built on the graveyard.

If so, then it's just a question of practicality -- how to get JSERRA to go somewhere else.

One wonders how many backers JSERRA would retain if there were picket lines of protesters, with signs and handouts, around a business owned by their shareholders -- for instance, an auto dealership, or a Law Offices building.
