On Saturday, Feb. 8, from 1 to 4 p.m., the Grace Hudson Museum will host a reception for its new exhibit, “Reclamation: Aboriginal Ancestral Homeland and Resilience of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.”
In 1925, famed anthropologist Alfred Kroeber incorrectly claimed that the Costanoan Native peoples of California had become extinct. Consequently, the Muwekma Ohlone — largely based in the southern regions of San Francisco Bay — lost federal status even though tribal members had been enrolled with the Bureau of Indian Affairs between 1928 and 1971 and had even served in the United States military. Through the images of tribal photographer Kike Arnal, this exhibition explores the traditions and vitality of the Muwekma Ohlone and their ongoing struggle to regain federal status and secure their own sovereignty.
The public is invited to help celebrate the opening of this exhibition, which is organized by members of the Muwekma Ohlone along with the New Museum in Los Gatos and the Dept. of Anthropology at San Jose State University. Pomo singers and dancers will be on hand as well as the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe Bay Area Feather Dancers. Light refreshments will be served.
The Grace Hudson Museum is at 431 S. Main St. in Ukiah. The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4:30 p.m.
