The only remaining sacred land that the tribe has lost control of is Pe Sla, also called Wowakcawala Okislata, which means the purity of peace and harmony.

The current owner has kept it pristine and un-"developed" There is very little chance that a commercial purchaser would show the same restraint.
Here is a link to donate to the cause:
