The irony does not go unnoticed that here the Pope now proposes to elevate Serra to sainthood and yet, many know him to be a monster who separated, butchered and maimed Native families - all in the name of Christ, military and progress.

Corine Fairbanks, Director for American Indian Movement Southern California. In addition to her work with AIM, she is an advocate for Environmental/Climate Change, “Indigenous Women’s Feminism”, Mental Health, and Recovery. “ All of these issues are directly and indirectly connected to our work with Environmentalism. "Working with our “Mother”, is a HUMAN RIGHTS issue, a life and death issue, and should not be isolated nor compartmentalized into something separate.”
