The Western Gate is the most sacred spot on earth for all American Indians. To them this unspoilt Californian Peninsula is where the souls of the dead begin their journey to heaven. A century ago the white man came and outlawed the ancient Indian religion. More recently the hunger for energy led to the site being proposed for a natural gas plant. To the Indian nations it seemed time for an uprising.
