Corrina Gould is the spokesperson for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan/Ohlone. She was born and raised in Oakland, CA, the territory of Huichuin. She is a lifelong activist that has worked on preserving and protecting the ancient burial sites of her ancestors in the Bay Area for decades.

We live in a country founded on genocide and slavery, built on stolen land, and stolen lives.
Black and Indigenous peoples share a deep wound from these foundational violations.
Corrina Gould spoke about the land that Diablo Valley College is on, Karkin Ohlone
land, and the past, present and future activism of Ohlone peoples, and Indigenous and
non-Indigenous visitors to restore right relationship to the land and to one another.
