DESCRIPTION:Perry Matlock, archivist for the group Sacred Sites Protection & Rights of 
 Indigenous Tribes, speaks about the local Native American village sites and 
 sacred cemeteries commonly called "shellmounds," which are thousands of 
 years old, often contain human burials and have unique value for the 
 tribes' living descendants and as cultural resources of California.\n\n600 
 sites once ringed San Francisco Bay, including one of the world's largest: 
 the Emeryville mound covered 19 acres and was up to 60 feet tall. 
 Tragically, through waves of Spanish, Mexican and American settlement and a 
 'Gold Rush' mentality that continues today, most have been been desecrated, 
 bulldozed and built upon. In a cruel irony, just as local First People work 
 towards a cultural revival, the lack of Federal recognition and rights as 
 tribes holds them back, and they have no guarantees of ownership or access 
 to the sacred lands and heritage of their ancestors.\n\nPerry will 
 emphasize the double standards and controversies surrounding these places, 
 along with today's struggles to save what remains and right the wrongs done 
 to people, cultures and lands. Join us for an informative and provocative 
 Native Heritage Month program at Sunset Library.\n\nExperience "First 
 Person", the Native heritage month of events - this November at SF Public 
 Libraries!\n\nInfo: https://sfpl.org/FirstPerson\nhttps://sfpl.org/\n
