HUNTINGTON BEACH, August 16, 2010 - A developer is building a housing complex in Huntington Beach and plans to remove the remains of some 80 Indigenous people.
Bolsa Chica is a significant Southern California Native American Site which dates back about 9,000 years and was once a thriving ceremonial site of the Tongva and Acjachemen Nations. The site is referred to archaeologically as the Cogged Stone site (CA-ORA-83) which once covered over 120 acres of the Bolsa Chica mesa.
Cogged stones are unique to Bolsa Chica. The only other place in the world they have been found is Chile.
