Announcing the campaign to begin the restoration of the West Berkeley Shellmound.
In 2024, Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation and Sogorea Te’ Land Trust celebrated the return of their oldest sacred site, the West Berkeley Shellmound, through community organizing, ceremonies, and legal interventions that halted its destruction.
This hard-won victory is just the beginning of realizing our dream of bringing vital cultural practices back to our once beautiful land.
We are ready to begin our first phase of restoration.
With your support, we seek to raise $1 million to take the first steps towards removing the concrete, daylighting Strawberry Creek, and beginning the journey of our sacred site back to balance and honor.
