The indigenous community in the Bay Area is fighting the installation of a replica mission bell in Gilroy approved more than a year ago.
This Native American Heritage Month, ABC Localish Studios presents "Our America: Indigenous and Urban."
Hilton, who was not on the council when the bell was approved, was one of three councilmembers who voted in favor of a motion to put the bell back on the agenda last week."This has nothing to do with cancel culture, I believe that some of my council colleagues are falling under that trap," Hilton said,"This is a chance to do something right, before we do something wrong."
Lopez responded to the vote:"They're trying to erase indigenous history, because they don't want to listen to it, and they don't want to talk."Hilton says he will continue working to get the item back on the agenda for discussion. As for the Amah Mutsun Tribal band, Lopez says their fight against this mission bell and all of the others in the state, won't end until all of the bells are gone.
"We think in terms of generations," he said,"I mean, it doesn't happen to our generation, it'll be the next."
