"We Are Muwekma Ohlone" is the title of the mural.They were once recognized but it got taken away back in the late 1920s.Charlene Nijmeh, the current chairperson,
she represents the present,
and she's doing what she can to help get the tribe
federally reinstated as a sovereign nation as a Muwekma Ohlone,
an American Indian tribe recognized by the United States.Ask the question.Find out why you didn't know anything about the Ohlone people before.Just learn.I'm glad I painted this just to be like a talking point,
