Wednesday and Thursday were big days for the Ohlone Profiles project. We held our last broadcast of the Spring season, and held our first in a series of planning meetings for the next several years.
One outcome was agreement on this one sentence vision statement for the Ohlone Profiles project:
“Recognition of rights that understand the connectedness of all life and increase awareness of indigenous presence.”
We also agreed to a project mission statement:
To sustain conversation through cultural work and ceremony
We also listed the types of activities that we are proposing for November and for the next two years:
Broadcasts, public film projections, film screenings, exhibits, public conversations, dance performances and ceremonies.
We also began to discuss a proposed schedule for August and for the fall.
August: interviewing Ohlone leaders that we have not been able to bring to any of the three broadcast programs at ATA.

Others to be arranged
I’m late for my day job so that’s it for now.
