Cafe Ohlone at the Library

About

Join Cafe Ohlone for a special presentation in honor of Native American Heritage Month. Their work corrects outdated stereotypes and uplifts a truthful narrative of the historical conditions that shape the present day. On the campus of UC Berkeley, adjacent to an academic department that less than a century ago erroneously declared the Ohlone people extinct, mak-’amham and Cafe Ohlone enact ‘oṭṭoy — a philosophy and intention of repair and mending — bringing the university community as well as the broader community together with the East Bay Ohlone community to promote a clearer understanding of the lived experiences of the East Bay Ohlone people throughout history; to encourage a healthier relationship between the university and the East Bay Ohlone people; and to infuse the campus community with specific cultural wisdom, history, culinary practices, and aesthetics. Please register at the bottom of the page. There will be several walk-up spots available day-of. If you need accessibility accommodations to participate, or information translated or in other formats, please contact ada@alamedaca.gov or fill out our ADA Request Form at least seven (7) working days before the event.
