Museum Program Sheds Light on History of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Archeologist, Anthropologist and Ethnohistorian Alan Leventhal will discuss the "Archaeology, History and Heritage of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe" in an online program hosted by Los Altos History Museum. This free program, given the Thursday before Indigenous Peoples' Day, will be held via Zoom on October 6 at 7pm.
For the past 42 years, Alan Leventhal has worked with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area as a tribal ethnohistorian and senior staff archaeologist. He has also worked closely with other tribes throughout California as they seek restoration and reaffirmation of their Federal and State tribal recognition. He spent nine years in San Jose State's Department of Anthropology as the Anthropology Lab Director from 1978-1987, and continued to teach advanced anthropology classes after he became a staff member in the Dean's Office, College of Social Sciences, until his retirement in 2019. Alan currently serves on the Museum's Diversity Advisory Group.
The program will give insight on the rich history of the native people who inhabited the Peninsula for thousands of years. Registration is required through the Museum's website at losaltoshistory.org/Muwekma.
