250 years ago, life along the edges of what we now know as San Francisco
Bay changed forever when the Portola Expedition came upon this hidden
magnificent body of water. The Spaniards couldn’t quite understand it
when they saw this marvelous sight for the first time on November 2,
1769, but this confluence of many rivers was a thriving home to
thousands of people, not to mention an abundance of species of water,
land, and sky. Join us to talk with Gregg Castro,
t’rowt’raahl Salinan/rumsien Ohlone, about the tens of thousands of
years prior to European arrival, what remains from those times, and how
we can honor the ways of life that persist despite centuries of colonial
misuse of the land and water.
