Created as part of the American Indian Cultural District’s Mapping Genocide Project, this presentation aims to highlight the history of commemorating individuals who contributed to the genocide of American Indians through place names and public art in the San Francisco Civic Art Collection.
The illustrations by artist Jackie Fawn (Yurok/Washoe/Surigaonon) prompt reflection on the untold brutality imposed on Native peoples, while celebrating the strength and resilience of survivors both historically and today. The map identifies thirty-seven street names in San Francisco, as well the location of ten statues and/or monuments in the San Francisco Civic Art Collection that have contributed to the direct violence and attempted erasure of American Indian people.
We invite viewers to reflect and share your thoughts by completing a brief survey via a QR code. Your feedback will help us understand how this presentation expands public knowledge about American Indian genocide as well as understand the impact it has had on those who experienced it.
