Association of Latino Marin Attorneys (ALMA) Mixer

,

As future Latinx attorneys, we appreciate the importance of networking and building strong relationships within the legal field. That is why some of us boarded a ferry for the first time and attended the ALMA mixer on Friday, September 14, 2018. Not only were we able to meet with practicing attorneys in all areas of law but also connected with students from UC Hastings’ La Raza Law Students Association. We bonded over our law school woes and headed out for a fun night in San Francisco. Looking forward to connecting with Hastings students again!

Native Land Acknowledgement


We take a moment to recognize that Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin) (Hoo-Choon), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-Chen-yo) speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma (Muh-wek-muh) Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band.

We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has benefited, 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 and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university's relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold the University of California, Berkeley more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
