PERALTA HACIENDA HISTORICAL PARK HISTORIC CORE AND PUBLIC HISTORY DIRECTOR

"THE PERALTA HACIENDA HISTORICAL PARK WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO MENTOR TEENS FROM THE DIVERSE, LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY OF FRUITVALE IN ACADEMIC, CIVIC, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. IN RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED AT INPUT MEETINGS AND STORY CIRCLES HELD AT ITS FACILITY, THE MUSEUM WILL WORK WITH REFUGEE, IMMIGRANT, AND AFRICAN AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH THROUGH ON-SITE INTERNSHIPS. THESE INTERNSHIPS WILL PROVIDE YOUTH THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY AND RESEARCH THEIR OWN STORIES IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT, AND SHARE THEM WITH THE BAY AREA PUBLIC AS THEY PLAN AND PRODUCE PUBLIC EVENTS, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EXHIBITIONS, RECEIVE TRAINING TO SERVE AS TOUR LEADERS, AND ORGANIZE COMMUNITY FORUMS. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO CREATE AN ETHNIC STUDIES EXPERIENCE TOUR FOR STUDENTS IN GRADE 10 THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. . PROJECT PARTNERS INCLUDE THE UNITY COUNCIL, LAO FAMILY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, THE OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, EAST BAY."

PERALTA HACIENDA HISTORICAL PARK WILL DESIGN, FABRICATE, AND INSTALL NEW INTERPRETIVE EXHIBITS ABOUT THE OHLONE, THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE IN THE HUCHIUN AREA WHERE THE PARK STANDS TODAY. EXHIBITS WILL WEAVE TOGETHER THE HISTORY OF THE LANDOWNING PERALTA FAMILY WITH THAT OF THE INDIGENOUS WORKERS ON THE SPANISH AND MEXICAN-ERA RANCHO, AND THEIR PAST AND CURRENT PRESENCE IN THE REGION. MUSEUM STAFF WILL WORK WITH OHLONE ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS TO FINALIZE DESIGNS AND FABRICATE AND INSTALL INTERPRETIVE ELEMENTS, INCLUDING OBJECTS, SCULPTURES, VIDEOS, TEXT, AND IMAGES. THE MUSEUM WILL INCORPORATE NEW RESEARCH TO REVISE, FIELD-TEST, AND LAUNCH ITS SCHOOL FIELD TRIP PROGRAM TO BETTER REFLECT INDIGENOUS AND LATINX COMMUNITY VOICES. THE EXHIBITS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP INDIGENOUS GROUPS UNDERSTAND AND CELEBRATE THEIR OWN CULTURES, WHILE HELPING NON-NATIVES LEARN ABOUT INDIGENOUS HISTORY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE REGION TODAY.

PERALTA HACIENDA HISTORIC PARK, LOCATED IN THE FRUITVALE COMMUNITY OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, TELLS THE STORIES OF THE EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNITY IT SERVES. KNOWN AS ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE UNITED STATES, FRUITVALE IS NOTED BY THE CENSUS BUREAU AS "SEVERELY DISTRESSED" ECONOMICALLY. FRUITVALE SCHOOLS ARE TITLE ONE, WITH 95 PERCENT OF STUDENTS RECEIVING FREE LUNCH, AND 30 PERCENT OF FRUITVALE'S ADULTS ARE NOT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. THE HISTORICAL ORGANIZATION BOLDLY TACKLES COMMUNITY CHALLENGES - POVERTY AND VIOLENT CRIME - BY UTILIZING TRADITIONAL CULTIVATION TECHNIQUES AND A COMMUNITY-WIDE SUPPORT SYSTEM TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER, HEALING AND NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE.
