During California State University East Bay's Fall 2022 Convocation address, President Cathy Sandeen announced plans to create a Muwekma Ohlone Walkway in front of the new CORE Library Building. The Walkway is intended to honor the Muwekma Ohlone on whose ancestral land this University was built.  
During the academic year 2022-2023, the Library received a grant from the California State Library (under its Library Services and Technology Act funds), to create a prototype of the Walkway, which showcases both some of the tribe's plants and flowers and some of the traditional growing practices which emphasize respect for the land and sustainability. Ethnic Studies Professor, Dr Enrique Salmon and his students have selected those items which they will plant during the prototype phase.  

This LibGuide contains information about these plants, flowers and trees. We hope it will encourage you to find out more about our Native American ancestors, the current and thriving Muwekma Ohlone in the Bay Area (www.muwekma.org), and sustainable gardening practices.
