Restore Federal Recognition to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe

We recognize that Stone Church of Willow Glen is located on the unceded aboriginal lands of the present-day Muwekma Ohlone people. The session of Stone Church has committed its support to restoring federal recognition to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. When tribes are asked why it is so important to be federally recognized, the reason most often cited is that right of self-determination. Restoring federal recognition to the Muwekma Ohlone tribe would be the first step toward making it so that the tribe could get access to healthcare, education, etc. resources from the federal government to support the sustainability of their people and culture.
