Decolonizing History

Using modern technology to leverage awesome new ways of educating youth about the indigenous, pre-contact history of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Presenting California History, and Native American History in a way which has never been done before; from an indigenous perspective, inclusive of indigenous voices and lived experiences.

For too long, our stories and knowledge have been overlooked as simple superstitions and useless information only of interest to die-hard outdoors people and survivalists.

Indigenous knowledge is valid; and our legends and creation stories are just as amazing and noteworthy as Western and Eastern Theologies such as the Greek & Roman, and Egyptian, pantheons.

Except: Native American culture and beliefs are far more relevant to California and San Francisco Bay Area history. Which is why they should be taught in schools just like everything else. Why are we spending time learning about Mt. Olympus when we should be learning about how Tuyshtak [“Mount Diablo”] was made. We should be learning about how a legendary warrior came down from Tuyshtak and “routed” a bunch of conquistadors on the Concord side of the mountain. Or how the hills and bay were formed around this place we call the “San Francisco Bay Area”.

We believe in sparking creativity and challenging the status quo by providing new ways to preserve and share history; providing access to equipment and training which enables tribes to produce and store their own sovereign data and archives.
