Metro Talks Speaker Series: Indigenous People and Land in the Bay Area - a film screening and discussion
SEE EVENT DETAILS
"Beyond Recognition," a film by Michelle Grace Steinberg of Underexposed Films, examines the efforts of indigenous Ohlone people, and in particular one woman, to reclaim their traditional and sacred lands within the urbanized Bay area, inviting questions about the impacts of both past and present land use and development policies on native people. The film follows Corrina Gould, a Chochenyo and Karkin Ohlone woman and Oakland (Huichin) native, on her quest to establish the first urban indigenous women-led land trust in the San Francisco Bay Area.
After the film screening, a panel discussion will be moderated by Alexander Tavizon, Bay Area Outreach Coordinator for the California Indian Environmental Alliance (CIEA). Panelists will include Corrina Gould of Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, Valentin Lopez of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and Land Trust, and Yana Garcia, Assistant Secretary for Environmental Justice and Tribal Affairs at the California Environmental Protection Agency.
This panel and film screening will be an opportunity to learn and engage with tribal voices and representatives. Themes discussed in the panel will include land conservation, cultural stewardship, preservation of sacred sites and visions for our communities.
Light snacks will be provided during the reception from 5:30 to 6:00pm.
