ATA 992 Valencia (at 21st)
June 17th, 2009
The Ohlone’s first contact with Europe: broadcast discussion followed by screening pre-historic petroglyphs and Mission Dolores mural circa 1790. 6pm-8pm Live Radio Broadcast: of the Voices of Native Nations live from ATA:
Guests: Ann Marie Sayers, Tribal Chair Indian Canyon, Greg Castro, chair, *Sa’yyo Associates Salinan Community, *Charlene Sul, Ohlone quilt maker.
8pm-9:30: screening photographs of California rock art painted between 1100 and 1770, and photographs of the mural painted in 1790, by missionized Ohlones. Comparing and contrasting this before and after ‘contact’ art, we will gain new visual evidence about the effects of Europeanization. This will be the second in a series of seven radio broadcasts and film screenings about San Francisco’s original inhabitants: descendants of the Ohlone Tribe. Our events support film makers and radio producers to meet with and think about Ohlone life, to understand America as colonizer, and the real people, still living, whose lives break the denial.
Ohlones and their Territory May 20th: Seeing and Hearing Ohlones June 17th: 1st Contact with Europe July 22nd: Not “What Next?”, but “What Does it Mean?”
