Abstract

In this piece, co-director of the Ohlone Profiles project Neil MacLean relates experiences from his personal involvement over the last seven years producing Ohlone, Miwok and Pomo dance in San Francisco. Maclean offers an account of the renewal of Ohlone dance since the 1970s emphasizing how space for renewal was created by the Red Power movement and is activated by Ohlone, Miwok, and Pomo dance group leaders. MacLean argues for increased support for Indigenous culture from the city of San Francisco.
