Building Inspection Commission acknowledges Ramaytush Ohlone heritage in land acknowledgement

The City of San Francisco's Building Inspection Commission convened on July 4, 2025, to address key agenda items, beginning with a roll call of members present. President Beto, Vice President Tam, and Commissioners Alexander Tupt, Eppler, Newman, and Summer were all in attendance.

Following the roll call, the commission proceeded with a land acknowledgement. They recognized that the meeting was held on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. The commission emphasized the importance of honoring the indigenous stewards of the land, acknowledging their ongoing responsibilities as caretakers and affirming their sovereign rights as the first peoples of the area.

This acknowledgment serves as a reminder of the historical context of the land and the significance of respecting the heritage of the Ramaytush Ohlone community. The meeting continued with further discussions, reflecting the commission's commitment to inclusivity and recognition of the local indigenous culture.
