Public Petition of Support

in Solidarity with the International Recognition

of the

Sixth Sun Stone Monument

at Barrios Unidos Park

Message to the City of Phoenix

Human Relations Commission

For a Mexican Barrio that has all but vanished due to the expansion of Sky Harbor Airport and subsequent commercialization, the preservation of a sense of the past community history and culture is necessary in order to provide a true accounting of the present reality.

This sense of history and culture, which is now being regenerated, is a necessary part of a community healing process that struggles for justice. When the world around you is described and you are not in it, there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium, as if you looked into a mirror and saw nothing.

The collective consciousness of this community has now united to resist this void.

We support the reintroduction and the regeneration of our ancestral sacred knowledge in the form of the depiction of the Sixth Sun Stone at Barrios Unidos Park, as an instrument of science and culture well recognized for its mathematical and astronomical precision. This project intends to serve as a definitive element of our comprehensive community planning as Indigenous Peoples into the future generations, with the goal of realizing equilibrium and peace within our community, with all of humanity, and with Mother Earth.
