Muwekma Ohlone Demand Apology After Assault and Arrests at D.C. Protest to Demand Recognition

HeadlineOct 22, 2024

The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe is demanding an apology from Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and the National Park Service Police after members of the tribe were assaulted, arrested and violently removed from the National Mall by federal police forces last week. A contingent of the tribe had just completed a 70-day journey on horseback from the Bay Area to Washington, D.C. — coinciding with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe says it will use Freedom of Information Act requests to investigate why it was attacked, as the group continues its campaign to restore federal recognition.
