A twenty-two acre strip of land-known as Puvungna-lies at the edge
of California State University's Long Beach campus. The land,
indisputably owned by California, is also sacred to several Native
American tribes. And these twenty-two acres have been the nexus for
an acrimonious and costly conflict over control of the land. Of
Sacred Lands and Strip Malls tells the story of Puvungna, from the
region's deep history, through years of struggle between activists
and campus administration, and ongoing reverberations from the
conflict. As Loewe makes clear, this is a case study with
implications beyond a single controversy; at stake in the legal
battle is the constitutionality of state codes meant to protect
sacred sites from commercial development, and the right of
individuals to participate in public hearings. The case also raises
questions about the nature of contract archaeology, applied
anthropology, and the relative status of ethnography and
ethnohistorical research. It is a compelling snapshot of issues
surrounding contemporary Native American landscapes.
