The advertisements promote a new exhibition at @exploratorium.

The new Ohlone restaurant by @makamham is not just about celebrating Native culinary traditions—it looks to start repairing the damage of displacement of Indigenous communities.

Glimpses into a world reimagined, a love song to Ohlone culture, coming together piece by piece and opening for public meals soon.

The trees will sing, an abalone curtain will welcome diners, the food will represent dishes served in Ohlone homes, taught to us by our elders.

[mak-'amham/Cafe Ohlone @makamham]

Our family has always lived here in Halkin, and because of the strength of our elders and ancestors, we continue to be here today.

We now have the first-in-the-world Halkin Elementary School, named for the Indigenous Ohlone/Mewuk identity of San Leandro!

We’re proud to have been part of this collective, 2-year process to see Wilson Elementary School in San Leandro have its name officially changed this week.

[San Leandro USD @SLUSD_News]

At the May 10th SLUSD school board meeting, trustees voted to approve the renaming of Wilson Elementary School to Halkin Elementary after a two-year community engagement process. Read the press release here: https://t.co/sUDTtVZbW5

[mak-'amham/Cafe Ohlone @makamham]

The naming of Halkin Elementary is worthy of celebration, as we work to see greater visibility for our Ohlone/Mewuk people native to this specific part of the East Bay.

horše ta-mak hiitiy halkin ‘i-raakat taššuy—It is good that we can see the name Halkin recognized.
