About this Exhibit

This online exhibit is part of the ongoing Visualizing Place exhibit at the Bancroft Gallery. The gallery is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Bancroft Library acknowledges that Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band.

We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has benefited, and continues to benefit, from the use and occupation of this land since the institution’s founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university’s relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgment, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold the University of California, Berkeley, more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.

This Land Acknowledgment was borrowed from the Native American Student Development office. To learn more, please visit: https://cejce.berkeley.edu/ohloneland
