FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2002 Members of the Quechan Nation of California and Arizona are wrapping up a 700-mile run in support of their most sacred site. The Bush administration has cleared away obstacles for a huge gold mine near the tribe's reservation. Secretary Gale Norton -- acting on the advice of Deputy Secretary J. Steven Griles, according to Quechan president Mike Jackson -- rescinded a legal opinion that protected sacred art, paths, trails and other natural features. The run started last Friday in Sacramento. It will end tomorrow on the tribe's reservation. The tribe hopes Gov. Gray Davis (D) will sign a bill protecting sacred areas throughout the state. Get the Story:
