Summertown Burial Grounds

To:  Burial Ground Protection

The undersigned descendants of the Cherokee, Creek and other Indian
Nations and supporters of the Summertown Homeowners Association hereby
petition John Dunn, District 3 Commissioner, Gwinnett County, Georgia, to
request that an immediate, emergency executive session of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners be called and that he move that the Board of
Commissioners make an immediate offer at the Strippling appraised market
value for the 191-acre tract and 15 adjacent acres owned by Bermuda LLC near
Stone Mountain, Georgia, on the historic Etowah Trail, a major Indian
highway through Georgia leading to the Etowah mound complex which
later became the Gwinnett-DeKalb county line. The undersigned petitioners
commend the sustained and self-sacrificing efforts of the homeowners in the
Summertown subdivision and on Deshong and Bermuda Roads to preserve this
tract, which archaeological studies have confirmed include Indian
artifacts. We honor them as warriors and ask that Commissioner John Dunn
support their efforts to preserve this site as undisturbed greenspace.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
