Board opens with interpretation instructions and a land acknowledgement
Summary
The meeting began with Zoom interpretation instructions for English and Spanish and a land acknowledgement recognizing the local Oloni (Ohlone) people and calling for repair of historical injustices.
At the start of the meeting the host explained that Zoom's interpretation function was available in English and Spanish and that the meeting would use simultaneous interpretation. Participants were asked to select their preferred language when the host enabled the feature.
The chair read a land acknowledgement recognizing the people who have cared for the land for "1000" years and specifically named the local Oloni population, saying the board "admits it is our responsibility to learn from the wisdom of the Oloni population and to keep in mind how we might work to repair injustices and move forward respectfully together."
