TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2002 California Governor Gray Davis (D) on Monday vetoed legislation to allow greater protection of sacred sites. Davis said the proposal was "flawed" in its attempt to require more tribal input on development projects. But he signed a separate bill to protect land sacred to the Quechan Nation. The tribe opposes a gold mine in an area used for tribal pilgrimages, burials and other ceremonies. Get the Story:
