Celebrate Native Heritage Month with the release of the Before You Are Here map and event uplifting Ohlone voices and perspectives exploring the histories and representations of Bay Area Indigenous territories and their present manifestations.
The Before You Are Here map challenges traditional cartographic paradigms by weaving together multiple spaces and times to depict the Bay Area as an ambiguous, relational, and deeply contested site focusing on the where, rather than the when.
Speakers will include Corrina Gould, Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation, Gregg Castro, T’rowt’raahl Salinan / Rumsien-Ramaytush Ohlone, and Quirina Geary, Tamien Nation, along with UC Berkeley cartographer Clancy Wilmott. Hosted By Sogorea Te’ Land Trust.
