We invite you to join NUMU during the week of Indigenous People’s Day to learn more about the Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Council’s effort to regain federal recognition. Hear from Tribal Chairwoman Charlene Nijmeh, Tribal Vice Chairwoman Monica Arellano, and Tribal Ethnohistorian Alan Leventhal as they discuss the tribe’s history, the decades of “politics of erasure” that have led to the present situation, where the fight for the Tribe’s reaffirmation as a federally recognized Tribe stands today, and how you can support the Muwekma Ohlone in their efforts. 

NUMU will be opening two new exhibitions, one on November 4th and the other on December 9th, highlighting the history, heritage, culture, and places of significance of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Council.
