Rematriation: Going Beyond Land Acknowledgement\ Ohlone Land Acknowledgement Series
2021-09-08に共有
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco recently formalized a land acknowledgment statement that recognizes the Indigenous peoples of the land where our two museums, the de Young and the Legion of Honor, are sited in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and Lincoln Park, respectively. The Ramaytush Ohlone are the original peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. We respect the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous peoples and their traditional territories. It is important to understand the history of the San Francisco Peninsula and the dynamics of settler colonialism in the region to create a broader awareness of their impact today.
