Remarks Delivered during Open Comment at Alameda City Council Meeting Hi, I'm Gabriel Duncan. I run the Alameda Native History Project.
This summer, we're launching the 2025 Acorn Granary Challenge-a hands-on community build where we'll construct a traditional Native American acorn granary using natural materials and Indigenous design.
These granaries were used for thousands of years to store acorns through the winter. Acorns were the most important traditional food in California, and this project is about restoring that knowledge and rebuilding food sovereignty through real, on-the-ground work.
The first sessions are happening at APC's Farm2Market in Alameda on Sunday, July 13 and Sunday, July 20, from 1 to 4 PM. We're partnering with Farm2Market again, and this year we're bringing in Alameda Point youth to help lead the build, which is a big step.
The event is free, open to all ages with supervision, and it's a clean and sober space. But space is limited-and only registered guests will be allowed to participate.
You can learn more and sign up at acorns.nativehistoryproject.org.
This is just the beginning. The Acorn Granary Challenge will also be happening at other sites across Alameda and Contra Costa Counties throughout the season.
Hope to see you there.
