RICHMOND MUSEUM OF HISTORY RECEIVES GRANT AWARD FROM CALIFORNIA HUMANITIES
 

 

California Humanities has recently announced the May 2018 Humanities For All Project Grant awards.  Richmond Museum of History (Museum) has been awarded $17,500 for its project entitled Speak Ohlone Exhibit Interactive Project.
 
Humanities For All Project Grant is a competitive grant program of California Humanities whichsupports locally-developed projects that respond to the needs, interests and concerns of Californians, provide accessible learning experiences for the public, and promote understanding among our state’s diverse population.
 
The Museum received a grant to fund the Speak Ohlone Exhibit Interactive project and to continue our important work to renovate the Native American section of the permanent exhibit. By working closely with the modern Ohlone community, the project seeks to raise awareness about the Chochenyo Ohlone dialect as well as the inspiring work of the Ohlone people to revitalize elements their culture hidden due to historical injustices. The project will design and implement an interactive audio program about the language and culture of the Huichin Ohlone, the first inhabitants of the East Bay. The project will result in an interactive audio station that will teach a series of phrases in the Chocenyo dialect and the lesson will be led by a member of the Ohlone community. The Speak Ohlone interactive is just one element of an exciting project to renovate the Native American section of the permanent exhibit for the first time in over thirty years. The exhibit will serve school aged children, families and the general public in the Iron Triangle neighborhood of Richmond, one of the most disadvantaged and underserved areas of the San Francisco Bay Area.
 
“These projects will bring the complexity and diversity of California to light in new ways that will engage Californians from every part of our state, and will help us all understand each other better,” said Julie Fry, President & CEO of California Humanities. “We congratulate these grantees whose projects will promote understanding and provide insight into a wide range of topics, issues, and experiences.”
 
California Humanities promotes the humanities – focused on ideas, conversation and learning – as relevant, meaningful ways to understand the human condition and connect us to each other in order to help strengthen California. California Humanities has provided grants and programs across the state since 1975.
