This is an outdoor gathering hosted by Sogorea Te’ Land Trust and the Villages of Lisjan Nation.
Please bring your own water bottle and chair if you would like to sit.

We are thrilled to announce that a deal has been reached to protect the West Berkeley Shellmound site and return it to Indigenous stewardship. The property at 1900 Fourth Street will be purchased for $27 million by the City of Berkeley and transferred to the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, which will hold it on behalf of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation.

“The City of Berkeley and Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation have joined together to right a historic wrong, resulting in the rematriation of our oldest Shellmound and Village site to its original people,” said Corrina Gould, Chair of the Lisjan Nation.
