\u2018Indigenous Voices\u2019 exhibit at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park<\/p>\n

The Fruitvale park is known for preserving the controversial history of the Peralta family<\/a>, descendants of the last Spanish governor of Alta California, Pablo Vicente de Sol\u00e1. But the nonprofit that runs the park has also long emphasized the telling of the history of the Ohlone people who occupied the land long before the Peraltas. Now, a new permanent installation will further preserve and interpret Ohlone history. For the past three years, Ohlone artists, culture bearers, historians and designers have been shaping the installation, which features a new sculpture by the landscape artist Walter Hood, a MacArthur fellow; a 100-foot-long bench painted with images of the traditional textiles Fruitvale families brought from their own cultures, and basketweaver Linda Yamane\u2019s Ohlone Basketry Garden. The Oct. 10 grand opening will feature a screening of the short \u201cWho Did the Work?,\u201d a doc by Rick Tejada Flores that explores forced labor during the colonial period.
Saturday, Oct. 10, 12 to 3 p.m., free, Peralta Hacienda, 2465 34th Ave.<\/p>\n
