The Lawrence Hall of Science acknowledges that our building, as part of the UC Berkeley campus, sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County.
We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has, and continues to benefit from, the use and occupation of this land, since the institution’s founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community, inclusion, and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university’s relationship to Ohlone people and their unbroken relationship with the East Bay.
As members of the Berkeley community, it is vitally important that we not only recognize the history of the land on which we stand but also, we recognize that the East Bay Ohlone people are alive and flourishing members of the Berkeley and broader Bay Area communities today.
Life-changing learning experiences don’t just happen—they’re made. By supporting The Lawrence Hall of Science, you’re helping further our work of inspiring tomorrow’s diverse thinkers, inventors, and change-makers.
