Reservation & Nature Preserve Project

  The Skywatcher Clan's ultimate goal is to raise the funds needed to acquire lands on which the tribe can rebuild itself and at the same time restore the land to its natural state and forever protect it from development which is now running rampant and endangering all human and natural habitats by destroying nature's capability to recycle its resources.

By June 2006, the Skywatcher Tribe had lost the race to acquire the very heart and most sacred portion of the ancestral tribal lands near Kelly Park. A section of land, right next to the remains of the pyramid mound, was cleared and a house was being constructed.

Just down the road from its temporary headquarters is a place called INDIAN HILL and here exists two EEFs, a native burial mound and a sink hole. This land was also considered sacred ground by the Skywatcher Tribe. Since the Spanish military expedition, in the late1600s, development in the area resulted in Orange County dumping it storm water run off into the sink hole and onto the northern end of the parcel. Orange County rezoned the parcels on the west side as commercial and the land owners ignored the tribe's request for donation or sell amount, putting the parcels up for sale. With Indian Hill now lost, the tribe looks outside of Orange County for the site of its new home.

BELLEVIEW, a small town south of Ocala, is the area that has been selected for the new home of the tribe. Development is kept away due to the many caves and caverns in the area.

Earlier caving trips resulted in the discovery of two confirmed Earth Energy Field emissions although the location is a few miles further away from the nearest major energy line, but still within range of both the Eastern and Western lines.

Native Americans Indians (Seminoles and Timicuan) once inhabited some of the caves. One, whose ruins can be seen to the left of center, had a subterranean spring the natives used to visit. The cave was ripped up for its limestone to construct roads. Two other caves were also destroyed for the same reasons. The area is on the 'trade' and journey route of the Skywatchers as they made their historic journeys and there is a high probability that a sacred site exists on a number of parcels.

Belleview, and its surrounding area, is mostly rural with thick trees and ranch land. At least 10 sites exist in this Google Maps satellite photo where the tribe wants to move to. Belleview has no bus or train station so visitors will need to drive or take a taxi from the nearest public transport station (in Ocala), but what the area lacks in complexity it makes up for in peace, pristine and a low crime rate. Orange County has become so crime ridden and over developed, it's no longer a safe place to visit let alone reside in. The Central Florida news media refuses to give any coverage to the tribe or its projects to help the surrounding communities, except to poke fun and attempt to discredit. The Skywatcher tribe has no future in Orange County any longer.

The site is better suited than the Indian Hill site (in Pine Hills) for camping, caving and astronomy activities.

Please help the Skywatcher Clan to survive, grow and share its knowledge making a tax deductible financial donation. With out donations, a great yet barely noticed piece of history will disappear forever. Funds can be transferred electronically via Moneybookers and Epassporte.
