The Stewarts Point Kashia Band of Pomo's Violet Parrish Chappell, center, helped by sisters Vana Parrish Lawson, left and Vivian Parrish Wilder, right, to the cliff where a ceremonial rock was thrown in the ocean on the Arch Richardson ranch, during a Native American blessing as fishing grounds close.
