Indianz.Com. In Print.
Indianz.Com > News > Two tribes among hardest hit by California fires Two tribes among hardest hit by California fires Thursday, October 25, 2007 Filed Under: Environment | National The Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians and the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians are among the hardest hit by fires in southern California. The Poomacha Fire hit both reservations, destroying homes and sending residents into shelters. At Rincon, 65 homes, trailers and other buildings have been destroyed. At La Jolla, at least 41 homes have been destroyed. “This has just shocked the entire community,” La Jolla Chairman Tracy Nelson told The San Diego Union-Tribune. “We're just trying to pull ourselves together.” Other reservations hit by the fires include the Yuina, San Pasqual, Pala, Capitan Grande, Mesa Grande, Santa Ysabel, Barona, Jamul and Inaja-Cosmit reservations. More than 26,000 acres of tribal land have burned, according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

This is the tribe that got hit the hardest. I am waiting for them to tell me the address of any new donation center specifically for this tribe. then, I'll post it in the groups and bulletins so people can start sending it to a donation center that goes only to tribal members who lost their homes.
The La Jolla Band of Indians Phone: 760.742.1297 Fax: 760.742.1704 Address: 22000 Hwy 76 Pauma Valley, CA 92061 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for posting your message. There's an address above for one of these tribes above that I alread sent a box of clothes to from Maryland. I reposted it here in case anyone wants to make a donation. I had to spend $25 in uspostal fees, it might be better to just send a check or something through the mail. Does anyone have an address for the other people that Ace mentioned? |
