I am emailing as a San Jose resident to make public comment during the committee meeting on 8/7 asking that the city council takes this opportunity to pass a resolution calling on congress to recognize the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
Warmly,
Jenna

Subject: Muwekma Ohlone Tribe Resolution comment for agenda meeting8/7/24 You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important My name is Julie Dominguez.
I’m the community education chair and tribal ambassador for the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’m urging this committee to pass the resolution and move this item to the council agenda next week! Our tribe has fought long and hard enough, even going so far to providing DNA analysis to grave sites dating back centuries.
Have we not proved enough that we are the descendants of this land? This is exactly why our people are traveling on our journey of Trail of Truth to Washington DC. Our ancestral burial sites need protection and we need to have the right to repatriate! Because just remember we are all our future ancestors, it’s this gravesites now and our in less than 100 years!

You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important To Whom it may concern,
As a Bay Area Native, I have always grown up with the knowledge that we are on Muwekma Ohlone land. That knowledge should not be bared from the government recognizing it as well. I know my email may be late but it's very much worth my time to say to please put the item on the agenda to recognize the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe so they can go on to receive the acknowledgement they deserve on a national level. Thank you for your time. -Tanya Herrera

Subject: MUWEKMA OHLONE RECOGNITION
You don't often get email from Learn why this is important We are Muwekma Ohlone and we have been kept silent far too long. After millennia of our history , and centuries of displacement and dispossession , acknowledging the bay areas original indigenous inhabitants is well over due.When we talk about land, land is part of who we are. its a mixture of our blood, our past, our current and our future . We carry our ancestors in us and around us as you all do. Not being federally recognized takes away the rights of our tribe, and the ability to honor and RESPECT our ancestors. This is our land and we have the sovereign right to be here and be recognized. We are here , we always have been. Can you hear us?
Sincerely, Cecilia Arellano

Public Comment: Muwekma Ohlone Tribe Recognition Now
My name is Katelyn Black, and I am a Bay Area resident born and raised on Muwekma Ohlone land. I attended Santa Clara University and am a former employee of Stanford University, both of which are organizations complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Muwekma Ohlone people on their Native land dating back to their founding. The eradication and erasure of the Muwekma Ohlone people will never be forgotten and their sovereign rights to this land must be recognized. As such, I implore the Rules Committee to pass a resolution calling on Congress to recognize the Muwekma Ohlone tribe. Federal recognition is one small step, but a significant one to begin the land back process and to begin the healing of generational trauma inflicted on the Native inhabitants of this land.
Thank you,
Katelyn

Hello,
As a San Jose resident of over 30 years and a contributing tax payer to the community, I strongly request and urge the elected counsel members to add to the agenda the recognition of the indigenous community to this land we call San Jose - The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
The Muwekma Ohlone deserves to be recognized by the elected members not simply because it is the moral and ethical thing to do, but it is also a legal requirement that the elected members represent and support each and every resident of San Jose; regardless if they just moved to the city or if they were born and raised here.
And the Muwekma Ohlone people were born and raised here long before the city was known as San Jose.
The Muwekma Ohlone tribe’s requests need to be heard and given the opportunity for greater exposure and city support, which can only happen on a wider scale if they are added to the agenda as the first step. Do the right thing.
Best,
Rebecca
