Event Description |
In Coming Home Christine Howard Sandoval explores the complicated history of California Indigeneity and its relationship to the archive, a place in which collective memory is stored. In California, these places of record-keeping are a dichotomy of representation as the history constructed by settlers, whose documents embody a colonial narrative of erasure, but are also embedded with the seeds of Indigenous knowledge paramount to the reconstruction of Indigenous language, cultural practices, and relationships to the land. Howard Sandoval is working with the archive to trace the migration of her Chalon Ohlone ancestors, telling the story of her community, her family, and her coming home to California. |
