Cultural District Map
American Indian Cultural Hub
AICD is a cultural hub that serves the broader American Indian community throughout the SF Bay Area. Our Cultural District corridor is located in an area that holds historical and cultural significance to the American Indian community. This includes a unique concentration of historical events, cultural resources, Native American-based programming, services, and gathering spaces that are historically and presently important to the American Indian community in the San Francisco Bay Area.
On 12/15/20 we expanded our Cultural District boundaries to include Mission Dolores Park. Dolores Park is associated with known Ramaytush Ohlone village sites and is also a major part of the painful history for our California Native American relatives that suffered through the mission era.

Our American Indian Cultural District Home Base Grows to Protect and Preserve Sacred Ramaytush Ohlone Lands
We are on unceded Ramaytush Ohlone land.
“We acknowledge that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the indigenous stewards of this land and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramaytush Ohlone have never ceded, lost nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. As Guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the Ancestors, Elders and Relatives of the Ramaytush Ohlone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as First Peoples.”
~ Gregg Castro/Jonathan Cordero (Ramaytush Ohlone)
