Hunters Point and the Muwekma Ohlone

Hunters Point which is situated in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco was taken over using Eminent Domanin by the Navy in the late 1940s. For years from the late 1940s to the late 1950s the worst type of radiological experiments were carried out at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

African Americans came to work in the shipyards in the late 1940s and most in the 1950s. Today some African Americans think they were at the Shipyard at Hunters Point for thousands of years.

Today the Navy is using some sellout Blacks to divide the community.

Much before the Blacks the Chinese had an established fishing industry. They were Maltese, French, Germans, Latinos and other
all before the Blacks. But the fact to remember is that the Ohlone were there for thousands of years. The Ohlone used canoes made by tule to traverse the marshlands, the wetlands, the Bay and all of it was pristine.

It is a shame that the City and County of San Francisco and the Navy continue to forget to respect the Ohlone the First People of San Francisco:
