  1. Done. This link may be helpful for those who cannot be there in person: Public Comment Procedures | City of Corpus Christihttps://www.corpuschristitx.gov/department-directory/city-secretary/public-comment-procedures/

    Here is my letter:

    I was born in Texas and still have family there. It is imperative to respect our indigenous communities, who suffered more persecution in Texas than in most states. They have no ceded or reservation lands where they can honor their ancestors. If their ancestors are buried in this Barisi site, you are accountable by a sense of decency and ethics to accommodate their requests.

    I am asking the City Council to require the developer to do the following:
    • Consult with representatives from local tribes and Indigenous organizations
    throughout the planning and construction process
    • Consult with an archeologist before construction on this sacred site
    • Conduct an archeological survey
    • Develop an actionable protocol/plan for any discovery of human remains or artifacts
    • Provide archeological monitoring during construction.

    We cannot change the past horrors committed in Texas against the indigenous people, but we can change how we honor them now.

    1. We believe the city should require the developer to do the following:
