Unlike other books that I cherished as a child, I haven’t read it in the last 62 years. I still feel like I was with her and Rontu on that island and felt her pain. I researched her life as an adult and was horrified by her death so soon after coming to the mainland. Later, when I gave a copy to my daughters, I couldn’t bring myself to read it. I think that having grown up on an island with the love and support of my parents and siblings, surrounded by friends, I found her situation unbearably sad. It had a profound effect on me and I realize now it probably influenced the importance I place on loved ones. For me, family and friends were everything.

My father was suppose to go on a training flight but another instructor needed more time so my Dad stayed aboard the carrier USS Block Island. This is a brief account of what happened that fateful day. On 10 Feb 1945 Block Island departed with DD 779 Douglas H. Fox for 10 days operational training off San Clemente and San Nicolas islands. On 14 Feb 1945 the planes from CVE 106 were to conduct strikes with live ammunition against a bombing area on San Clemente. Dobbin led the morning flight but found the weather unsatisfactory and returned to the ship. One plane crashed due to engine failure but the pilot was rescued. That afternoon six Avengers, three Corsairs, and two Hellcats were launched to continue training. A severe storm approached rapidly so Block Island recalled all aircraft. One Avenger successfully landed but the others were unable to land so they were vectored to San Nicolas about 120 miles away. The weather prevented landing and as a result eight aircrew and seven planes were lost.

Afterwards the carrier went on to Hawaii then entered combat at Saipan then Okinawa and went on to New Guinea to support the Aussies and later to the Philippines to pickup POWs there. The Channel islands supported smaller versions of mammoths, and was a key Indigenous trading point from the islands to the coast and all the way into the plains. When the Spanish came and removed the local population it completely destroyed that link that had existed for a very long time.

As such wasting time to show the documentation process removes valuable time from the project.

Doesn't really seem fair or in line with NAGPRA, NEPA, CEQA, to just have a bunch of non indigenous professors poke through someones most private possessions, and then write up a bunch of articles and publish photos of said contents. Beautiful artifacts, but a disgusting show of unchecked privilege. Most tribes dont want their precontact history put on blast by scolars.
