1 million dollars raised for sacred site restoration!

January 21, 2026 by Inés Ixierda

After years of prayers and protest, the hard work of our amazing team, and the support of many many allies, we have reached our fundraising goal and can now begin the restoration of the oldest village site in the Bay Area, the West Berkeley Shellmound! 

In these times of political, economic and social struggle, we are grateful to be able to celebrate this milestone achievement. 

In this first phase of work, we will remove the pavement and finally  let the land breathe! Our long term vision is to restore the land and daylight Strawberry Creek. This is a huge multiphase project that will take many years to complete.  

Thank you to everyone who donated, held fundraisers, spread the word, supported in so many ways, and walked with us all the years that have led to today.  We are blessed to be able to continue to do the work our ancestors and future generations are calling us to do.
