Quoted from the article:
"...few people are arware that Wal-Mart employs an elite unit assigned to
locate sites of great importance. ...They look for special situations -
land that has historical or cultural significance."...
..."Wal-Mart has demonstrated a special flair for finding sites sacred to
American Indians. One, in Paso Robles, Calif., contained the remains of an
ancient Chumash village and burial grounds. In an act of great
beneficence, the discount chain preserved a 1 1/2-acre knoll. The sacred
spot above the Salinas River is easy to find because it is encircled by a
mall parking lot."
I urge you to write (letters@walmart.com) this company that professes to
have "American Values" at heart. Note: Wal-Mart does not only choose sites
of NA significance, they are looking for ANY historical significance, and
are ready to destroy it.

Note: according to the article, most of the time Wal-Mart "wins" against
the community. Two places where they have lost the battle have been Bath,
ME and Greenfield, Mass. Might be a good idea to contact those communities
& find out how they did it.
